OF KENAI This letter is written to reaffirm the Borough's commitment to you to use all available resources at the administrative level to redesign and construct fencing, landscaping and "drop box" activities in a manner which will protect or enhance the values of the adjoining properties. I appreciate the efforts you have made in spearheading surrounding property owners' activities in a positive manner -- one that resulted in solutions which hopefully will be acceptable by all concerned. Specifically we are committed to: 1) Eliminating drop boxes in front of the entrance to the transfer site. This action will be opposed by many residents because they will want to continue to dispose of garbage at their convenience, not when the transfer site is open. In my opinion, the effects on surrounding residents and land owners override these considerations. 2) Designing and implementing a landscaping plan which will beautify the neighborhood. Instead of being a detraction, we hope to make it an attraction. 3) Install fencing which will be aesthetically pleasing and will shield the garbage activities from view for residents and traffic on Redoubt Avenue. Hopefully, we will have a draft plan available in the very near future so that the residents of the area will have a better idea of where we are heading with the above ideas. Mr. Lee Sterner September 2, 1994 Page Two If I have left anything out or the above statements do not coincide with your recollection of our discussion, please contact me as soon as possible.

Manninen, City of Kenai 6-a Lee Sterner 2426 Redoubt, A 7 Kenai, Alaska 99611 August 30, 1994 Cathy Mayor Director of Solid Waste Kenai Peninsula Borough 47140 East Poppy Lane Soldotna, Alaska 99669 Dear Cathy: My name is Lee Sterner, owner of Park Terrace Apartments, 2426 Redoubt, Kenai, Alaska. I'm writing in regard to the Kenai Transfer Site which is currently being expanded and upgraded directly across the street from my apartments. It is probably immaterial at this point to mention that the Borough and the City of Kenai assured my tenants, myself, and the neighborhood in general, prior to construction that a sufficient buffer would be left to shield this site from view. What is material and painfully obvious to us is that there was not sufficient buffer left. The natural barrier of beautiful trees that separated us from the previous site is now so thin, that we may view everything going on at this site. It is as if we have suddenly become a part of it. This so called buffer is so thin that we can not only see everything at the site, but we can now look across the old dump area as well and see the traffic going by on Spur Road. We see all of this and the leaves haven't gone off the trees yet. My tenants are upset and very concerned by this development. It's bad enough living next door to one of these sites and listening to the inevitable banging of containers, the roar of the heavy trucks loading, unloading and hauling away of these containers, not to mention the blowing garbage that comes our way frequently, but what is particularly galling is now we have to look at this operation as well. What I see happening, unless we get some meaningful help from the Borough, is a definite lowering of my property value and a very, very serious obstacle to the renting of these units. Who wants to rent an apartment when the view out the window of everyone of these units looks directly into this garbage transfer site. Additionally, there is an increase in noise due to the thin remaining buffer. The west 200 feet of this site has virtually no buffer at all giving us an unrestricted view. The east portion of the buffer is too thin to even qualify as a buffer. In places the depth is one or two trees only with wide spaces between in all directions. Cathy, I'm not usually a whiner or complainer, but this is ridiculous. There is a feeling in this neighborhood and most certainly here at Park Terrace Apartments that this project is turning out to be nothing like what was represented to us prior to construction. No mention was ever made of the huge expansion of this facility and the large amount of clearing that would be done so close to the road. I believe most of us thought this was merely an upgrade to the limited original site. In any case, I've got to tell you there was a serious lack of concern for the property owners and people of this neighborhood when this thoughtless destruction of the natural barrier was allowed to occur. I'm probably more affected than anyone else in this neighborhood and I'm very angry that the people who spend our tax dollars show such little consideration for the tax payers who live here. I believe if the Borough were the least bit concerned for us, realizing how sensitive garbage is in any neighborhood, that someone in authority would have checked out the obvious. The hiding of such garbage and the facility that handles it. Did an engineer or any responsible party walk this area to see that their plan provided for an adequate buffer for us? I doubt it! If someone did check it out they certainly were insensitive to allow this to happen. It is my understanding that an 8 feet chain length fence will be installed around this facility. I've seen the stakes marking the corners for this fence and if built as staked we'll have even more of an eye sore from this institutional type fence that will likely fall over after a period of time like the last one constructed around the old dump site. I would suggest this type of fence is not appropriate in the midst of a residential neighborhood. The fence around Wildwood comes to mind as I view the prospect. I would hope a fence could be avoided altogether in favor of some other barrier. Failing this, maybe we could get a more visually pleasing fence with some sort of earth tone lattice woven throughout, low growing shrubs to cover the fence and large fast growing trees to fill out the now depleted buffer. Lastly I would ask, if not already planned, to replant with trees and shrubs, the 20 feet wide swath of trees that were destroyed to accommodate the 6 inch line to be connected to the storm system at the east boundary of this site. The damage is now done and we're facing an unpleasant situation here. I'm appealing to the Borough on behalf of my tenants, the people of this neighborhood, and myself to recognize this problem that was not of our making and to help us fairly resolve it. It occurs to me that this project was planned and is being executed as if this were an industrial area miles from town. Twenty years ago that was likely the case. Please help us, this is not the city dump anymore. This is an improving residential neighborhood as witnessed by the new homes being built in the area. I've personally spent a ton of money on Park Terrace to restore it to respectability. I think we deserve a little more respect from the people who spend our tax money and represent us. Would you like to live across the street from this transfer site as presently being constructed?

ADDRESS `ii MOM PRIOMP-I'M MR FM M WORM �- D I City of Kenai "s 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Ste. 200 D I. Kenai, Alaska 99611 ` JUL 2$199u e ,:r Attn: Planning and Zoning Commission r Mr. Kevin Walker, Chairman PI aAKING DEPT. Dear Sir; My name is Lee Sterner, owner of Park Terrace Apartments, 2426 Redoubt. These 24 units are located across the street and one small block to the east of the Kenai Transfer Station. On behalf of my tenants,and myself, I would like to express my concern that this facility be made a permanent site in what is, predominately, a residential neighborhood. I think we all favor transfer sites when located in a proper location. This site was likely an appropriate one for a dump and a transfer site years ago before the city expanded. The dump is closed and I submit that it is time to move this transfer site before permanent structures become part of the transfer operation. Have any other sites been explored by the Borough or the City to accommodate future growth and usage of these sites? In years to come, I believe this site will become more and more inappropriate as the neighborhood grows and the volume of trash increases. This residential neighborhood is expanding, as witnessed by the construction of new homes in the immediate area. Borough and City officials whom I have spoken to have made the point that nobody wants a transfer site in their neighborhood. I agree that nobody wants a transfer site for a neighbor, but I would argue that this site should be relocated to a location that is most appropriate, rather than remain in one that is least appropriate. With one week notice, I can't give an alternative to this location, but I would hope that those persons responsible in these matters could and would give consideration to possible alternatives. I strongly urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to deny this conditional use permit. Failing an outright denial, I respectfully request that a final decision on this matter be postponed until further public input and discussion can be accomplished. I regret I can not attend this meeting personally, to state my case, due to prior commitments, but I thank you for your considerations in this matter.

Manninen, City Manager September 1, 1994 State Parks Recreation Project Funding The City Council authorized an application for Exxon Valdez land acquisition funding for the Chester Cone property. A criteria for this funding is restoring/enhancing recreational services lost or diminished by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. A major requirement for capital improvement development on the Exxon Valdez acquired lands is, "The sponsor has a plan supported by a public agency for management and maintenance." In addition to the land acquisition, the Alaska State Parks has a $500,000 maximum competitive grant for capital improvements/development. It requires a management and maintenance plan, supported by a public agency; therefore, I have requested the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider/recommend such a plan to the City Council. Finally, the City Administration is not unmindful of the timing of any Exxon Valdez grant applications with the impending September 1994 Council decision on whether to develop the "Bluff View" park or return the prior grant fund award. YET, ADMINISTRATION STRONGLY AGREES WITH THE LONG VIEW/VISION OF THE CITY'S TARING ADVANTAGE OF AVAILABLE RECREATIONAL FUNDING SOURCES TO PRESERVE, ACQUIRE AND DEVELOP HIGH QUALITY RECREATIONAL/TOURISM RELATED SITES ALONG THE KENAI RIVER. During the Chester Cone application process, City staff was made aware of the availabiliy of these competitive grants for up to $500,000 each. Currently, Administration suggests four viable options to consider: (1) Cone Property Boardwalk, (2) Cunningham Park, (3) Beach/River Mouth Area, and (4) Birch Island.

Mayor Williams is interested in applying for this funding for the following project: Cone Property Boardwalk - Mr. Chester Cone is attempting to have the Exxon Trustee Council purchase approximately 100 acres riparian wetlands from him under a separate program. One of the criteria for the purchase would be the incorporation of the land into a Public Land Management System, which could include the City of Kenai Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Cone has expressed interest in vesting the title of the land over to the City of Kenai for the development of a recreational park/viewing area/interpretive center. Any development would still need to follow Corps of Engineer regulations, but a boardwalk, for example, would not need an individual permit, provided no fill is used. The City of Kenai would be responsible for management and maintenance of the park. This may include hiring one person part-time during the summer for oversite, as well as general maintenance costs for the boardwalk. We estimate this would be approximately $10,966 for one PT-9, 40 hours/week for five months, and $4,000 per year in general maintenance costs. Other projects may also qualify for funding, for example: Cunningham Park - The Parks and Recreation Director has asked for consideration of the purchasing of the lot west of Cunningham Park for further expansion. The lot (1.05 acres) is valued (from the Borough Assessor's tables) at $42,500.00, and this land acquisition would fall under the project funding. Other improvements may include new restrooms, river access improvements, erosion prevention, and parking expansion. The City of Kenai would continue to be responsible for maintenance of the Park. Additional maintenance costs based on the increase in traffic would probably be minimal. Beach/River Mouth Area - several privately owned lots along the beach road are trespassed on a regular basis. Each summer, especially during the sockeye run, the beach is overrun with people. Parking, restrooms, designated beach access, and picnicking facilities are needed. The bluff above the beach where many visitors gather to view the inlet, mountains, fishing fleet and fisherman below could be included with improved parking, interpretive facilities, and a viewing platform, etc. Birch Island - The State Parks Department may apply for funding for this project on their own, we have not yet heard a definitive answer from them. It is possible this could be a joint project and could include some yearly maintenance costs on behalf of the City. If the State chooses not to pursue this funding for this project, would the City of Kenai like to? Please provide direction on whether council wishes to pursue any of these options, or possible routing through: Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation or Harbor Commissions.

Baldwin Lawyer September 2, 1994 C IL Makis in Jam" N. Ruff, M RE: Status of Chester Cone Proposal With the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council Small Parcel Acquisition Program. Dear Mayor Williams: I would like to provide you with a brief update on the status of Mr. Cones property acquisition proposal and alert you to another issue which, I believe, the City of Kenai might be interested in. As you willrecall, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game requested that Mr. Cone submit a proposal to the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council (the Council) requesting that the Council consider acquiring his property under the, small pared acquisition program. The City of Kenai expressed their support of Mr. Cone's proposal with the unanimous adoption of a resolution to the Council supporting the acquisition. In a recent conversation with Mr. Lance Trasky, Regional Director of the Habitat Division at ADF&G, I was told Mr. Cones parcel has been well received with the Council's staff reviewing acquisition proposals and that acquisition sites should be identified by late fall of this year. I also want to mention a program being administered by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) which is providing fiords for development of recreation sites in the Exxon Valdez spill area. This program might program be of interest to the City since, should Mr. Cone's property be acquired, the parcel might be considered a suitable location for a DNR park site. It is my understanding that ADNR would be very interested in wonting with the City of Kenai to develop a recreation site that would utilize Mr. Cone's property in a manner that would benefit local residents without damaging critical habitat along the river. Although Mr. Cone has not received written evidence of the State's interest in purchasing his property, it would appear from key agency officials that momentum is building in Mr. Cone's direction. I believe that if the City expressed an interest in the ultimate use and management of the property, acquisition, and, therefore, a decision on the possible location of a recreation site within the City, could be realized this fall. SEP 02 94 12:09 RICK BALDWIN 907 293 8435 The Honorable John J. Williams September 2, 1994 Page 2 Finally, let me take this opportunity again to thank you and the City Council for their support of Mr. Cone's proposal and to reiterate my interest in worldng with the City and state agencies so we might meet Mr. Cone's needs in concert with the City's concerns over use of the property. Sincerely, James N.Butler, III JNBlgd cc: Mr. Cone KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 20, 1994 PAGE 13 Smalley stated he concurs with Monfor's comments. Bannock stated that, as a neighbor, he thinks it would be a great improvement. Williams summarized saying it appears that Council has no objection to the permanent transfer site on Redoubt. He asked about rezoning. Graves stated that the Borough has filled out the application and it is scheduled to go before Planning & Zoning. H-7. Discussion - Acquisition of Chester Cone property. Smalley asked if it would be appropriate to ask Jim Butler to speak at this time. Williams stated it would. BUTLER (verbatim): Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, as Councilman Smalley has indicated, my name is Jim Butler, and I am an attorney in town. Over the last several months, I have been working with Mr. Chester Cone who, as I am sure you are well aware, owns some property along Beaver Loop Road. In fact, the parcel that we are talking about this evening includes a parcel that the City of Kenai attempted to purchase, I believe, twice, and whom other people have purchased and have given back to Mr. Cone due to their inability to develop the property. Mr. Cone came to me trying to find some resolution to his dilemma of having 100 acres on one of the most pristine rivers in Alaska and he can't do anything with it. We looked through a couple different options and elected to put together a proposal for the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council Small Parcel Acquisition Program. Let me give you a little bit of background on the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council and what they are doing and what we are trying to do with this proposal and how I think the Council might follow the lead of the Planning & Zoning Commission to offer some support to that. After the spill, Exxon entered into a consent decree with federal and state government to settle the civil damage claims that both the state and federal government brought against Exxon. That was done under CIRCLA. A $900 million trust fund was established for the purpose of attempting to restore property impacted by the oil spill, to develop a habitat protection acquisition program, to provide monitoring and research funds for the spill -impacted area, and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 20, 1994 PAGE 14 also to provide public information and administration of the fund. What I want to do, I guess, at this point is reinforce sometimes a common misconception of what the Council is about, and dispel maybe the misconception. And that is that this is somehow a -- this program is somehow currently impacting either Exxon or other oil companies in the area. That money, the money that we're talking about tonight, is money that has already been paid into a fund and the administration and disposal of those monies, the use of those monies, is not going to directly impact any industry people in our area or in any area around the state. We put together a proposal to the Trustee Council under the Small Parcel Acquisition Program. In order to fit under that, the parcel has to be less than 1,000 acres and has to be located in the spill -impacted area. To just sort of give you an orientation of what the spill -impacted area is, it's from Bligh Reef south to Chignik, and all the way up north to the forelands, including the west side of Cook Inlet down to Chignik and all the Kodiak area. So the Council put out a request for proposals to acquire property in the spill -impacted areas. The Kenai River is specifically identified as an impacted area, primarily because of the over -escapement of sockeye in 1989. Mr. Cone's property meets the acquisition program criteria in a number of areas, primarily because his property includes rearing habitat for both sockeye and pink salmon, Dolly Varden, bald eagles, common murre and any tidal organisms that are important to the support of those particular species. The restoration fund is set up to acquire parcels of property to offset those properties that were significantly impacted. One of the other things that the Council can do is deal with restoring services that were impacted. Now services that were impacted include commercial fishing and sport fishing. Because areas were closed during the spill, people had to go to other areas to go pursue their sport fishing; and as a result significant impacts were indirectly incurred in those areas. So they are looking at acquiring this property, or this type of property. One of the things that I am sure you are all aware of is this piece of property in particular has been studied to death. I KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 201 1994 PAGE 15 know that, when the City of Kenai proposed to build a boat launch on an 11-1/2 acre parcel along this particular tract of land, Fish and Wildlife, D.N.R., Fish and Game -- everybody went through that piece of property with a fine-tooth comb. Essentially what we have done is we have taken a large stack of agency research and turned it around and said, "This property has been defined as critical by you and, therefore, we think that the public should own this property as opposed to having an individual own this property." The Commission had the opportunity to review the proposal; and I don't know if any of the Council members have had an opportunity yet, but the Administration staff has that proposal and we can make sure you've got copies if you're interested in seeing how the specific elements of the criteria that are going to be evaluated -- how this property ranks with that. I can say quite confidently that the property ranks quite high. The Fish and Game has also requested that this property be seriously considered for acquisition because of the importance of protecting habitat along the Kenai River which, as you know, is a growing concern in our area. Support of the proposal is, I guess, what we would like to see from the Council; and, not just for the proposal, but support of an expedited review. Tonight Mr. Cone turned, I believe, 80 years old, and his ability to wait around and haggle with the state and the feds is much shorter than it was 15 years ago. And because his property has been researched, we're trying to keep it out of the consultant trap . . . (unintelligible). So I would like to request the Council consider supporting the proposal -- the acquisition proposal -- and an expedited review of his proposal, which the Council -- my understanding is they've got the authority to do that. Valuation, those sorts of issues, can be worked out. The mechanism for holding the property, how title is vested, is something that Mr. Cone is very open to working with the Council on. The use of the property in the future could be something that, not only whoever holds the property, but the City of Kenai, could play an instrumental role in deciding how services like tourism and the rest of that are going to be -- maybe mitigate any impacts. ',I don't know if your packet includes a letter that Chairman Walker signed. If you've got any questions at this time, I 'would be glad to help you out with those. (end of verbatim) KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 20, 1994 PAGE 16 Smalley stated that Walker's letter is in the packet. He said that Planning & Zoning also wanted to add a statement that the City had attempted to purchase this property and to seek out the necessary required permits to develop the property; and the property went back to Mr. Cone when the City was denied. Bookey asked what happens to the property once it's acquired -- does it go into a land bank situation where there is no project development or will there be any development. Butler said that is an open question right now. He stated that he is willing to work with the City in working with the Trustee Council on finding a workable solution for the property. Butler said the council's restoration plan is consistent with the Kenai Peninsula Coastal Plan and the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan. He stated that a small piece of the property abuts the river, but most of it is upland. He would like to see maybe a bird sanctuary where people could pull off the road and observe the wildlife. He said this would take some of the pressure off the river bank. Butler stated that once the Trustee Council acquires the property, it can be transfered to anyone. Smalley stated that Mr. Cone said at the Planning & Zoning meeting that, after 20 years of trying to sell this property, this is a last ditch effort in which he is asking the City's support. MOTION: Councilmember Smalley MOVED that the City Administration work with Mr. Butler to draft a letter or resolution supporting this proposal and to request an expedited review. Councilmember Measles SECONDED the motion and stated, "This is a scenario where federal and other agencies have made a person's property useless with their regulations and refusal to issue permits for property owners to develop this property. I am certainly in favor of this thing happening." He also stated that he feels this is perhaps a stretch of the intent of the Oil Spill Trust Fund; though not as far as some have stretched it. Williams stated that the Council feels compassion for Mr. Cone and his long battle. He said that at one time the City thought it could use the land, but that didn't happen. Now the City wishes the best for Mr. Cone. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 20, 1994 PAGE 17 Smalley offered that maybe the City would have some influence in the State legislature as to how the land will be used. Butler stated again that he is willing to work with the City. Bookey stated that maybe somebody in the State might listen to this: It seems that the State is so concerned about the impact on the Kenai, yet they build these horrendous roads to get here; but they're not as concerned about the impact on the Kenai River when they deny access. Butler stated that he will be glad to let the City Council know if some opportunities arise. Williams directed the Clerk to prepare a resolution in support of and for expedition of the review. Butler said that the review process could go from October, 1994 into early 1995. Williams directed the Clerk to issue a letter immediately and follow it with a resolution to Council at the next meeting. Councilmember Smalley asked for unanimous consent. No objections. SO ORDERED. --'ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a.

Williams, Mayor Page 2 of 2 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING **MINUTES** September 6, 1994 - 7:00 p.m. Chairman Richard Hultberg Presiding 1. ROLL CALL Members present: Richard Hultberg, Kelly Gifford, Roger Seibert, Amanda Baldwin Members absent: Dale Sandahl, Jerry Carlson, Cliff Massie Also present: Mayor John Williams, Councilman Duane Bannock, Parks & Rec. Director Kayo McGillivray, Administrative Assistant Kathy Woodford 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA There were no objections to the agenda. 3. NEW BUSINESS a. State Parks Recreation Project Funding/Chester Cone Property Acquisition and Development McGillivray referred to Resolution 94-55 which supports the acquisition of the Cone property. He said the City Manager, City Engineer, and Engineering Technician, felt that with the opportunity of these funds, the city should look at other areas for development, besides the Cone property. McGillivray said he felt the three lots beside Cunningham Park would be advantageous based on the numbers of people that already use Cunningham Park during the summer. McGillivray said he would like to see the Commission discuss different proposals and make a recommendation to the City Council on Wednesday (917/94). Hultberg asked if the Commission's recommendation had to be made tonight for tomorrow nights Council meeting. McGillivray said he did not know if Council plans to take official action on 9/7/94 or at a later date. Williams said we are under some time constraints with regards to the Cone property and applications for funds. Williams stated the City Manager has suggested some other areas for review: the Cunningham Park area; the Beach River Mouth area and the Birch Island area. Williams referred to the Cone property first. He said Exxon is planning to spend several millions of dollars to restore various areas that were affected by the Exxon Valdez spill. The areas of concern are the Prince William Sound sector; the Cook Inlet/Kachemak Bay sector and the Kodiak sector. Williams said Jim Butler (attorney for Page 2 Parks & Recreation Special Meeting 9/6/94 Chester Cone) and Mr. Cone have influenced the Exxon Valdez Trustees into taking a look at purchasing 100 acres from Cone on Beaver Loop (the same property the city proposed putting a boat ramp on and was turned down by state & federal agencies). The state and federal agencies are looking more favorably to the Exxon Valdez purchase of the property for a habitat control area rather than when the city suggested a boat ramp. The property could be developed to have river front protection, boardwalks, educational kiosks with interpretive signs, parking, and perhaps some kind of docking down the river. Williams said there are two categories of funding. He said one is the purchase by the Exxon Valdez Trustees and the other is by money that has been given to the State of Alaska Dept. of Parks & Outdoor Recreation for the purpose of creating habitat viewing areas and parks. Williams asked the Commission to keep in mind that the city is not involved in the Exxon Valdez purchase of the Cone property except that (after the property is purchased) the Council may decide to deed it to the city. The city would have to make the application for the half million dollars for development at the Cone property. Williams said if we make application for the money, and build the facility, the city would be on the hook for the long term maintenance and operation of the property. He said it may include hiring a full time person for the summer just to take care of that area. Williams said the Birch Island Park was supposed to be done by the State (Neil Johansen) as a second phase to the Boardwalk project but ended up not being done. The River Mouth Viewing Area project had a problem because the land in question is owned by too many people (public and private). Williams said the Cunningham Park area is the most viable area. Williams said there is ten million dollars in this fund that has to be distributed by December. He said there are several options; the city could make application for $500,000 to acquire the Cone property through the Exxon Valdez committee (which will be a "multi -generational," long term project); we can make application for $500,000 for acquisition of the Cunningham Park (if the lands are acquirable and which may be done in one year, short term); or we could make application for both areas. In either case, the application has to be for habitat protection, restoration/rehabilitation programs. Williams stated that Cunningham Park was originally supposed to be a "childrens park," according to Martha Cunningham. He added it was never intended to have a boat ramp there. Williams asked to consider the question of how far Cunningham Park could be developed, without the heirs of Martha Cunningham's estate coming back and claiming the city is not using the property under the conditions it was originally granted to us for. Page 3 Parks & Recreation Special Meeting 9/6/94 McGillivray said he has never seen any terms concerning Cunningham Park and that the boat ramp was there in 79" when he took over the Parks & Rec. Department. Williams said the boat ramp was "boot legged" in one night. Gifford asked for some clarification of the two maps that were handed out. Williams said they are both of the Cunningham Park area, one is the three lots west of the park, the other is a rendition of what could be done with the three lots. McGillivray said the three lots are owned by Lofstedt and when contacted before, Lofstedt was willing to sell. Gifford asked where the Cone property is. Williams got a map to show where the properties are and pointed them out to the Commissioners. Baldwin asked who has control of the money. McGillivray said the state has some control and the Exxon group has some. Seibert clarified that the city had nothing to say about the money except for making application for it. Bannock said yes, that's correct. Hultberg stated that this/these project(s) will take a lot of public input. Gifford and Williams both stated there is not time for public input. Williams said the ten million dollars will be gone in December. Baldwin asked how the money will be divided. Williams said anyone interested submits applications for the money. A committee will be chosen (and he would like to recommend Richard Hultberg, Fred Braun and Jeff Jefferson serve on this committee) to judge who will get the money. Williams said there is no reason we cannot apply for both the Cone property and Cunningham Park. He added there are problems with both, the Cone property may not be acquired by the Exxon Trustees, and we may not be able to get the property by Cunningham. Hultberg asked if these questions shouldn't be answered before we start the application process. Williams said application for the money can be made for the money, pending receipt of the land, and some of the money can be used to acquire the land at Cunningham. Bannock stated the resolution before Council only mentions using the $500,000 for the Cone property. Williams said that is correct, but added there is nothing that says only one application can be made. Bannock clarified we can ask for $500,000 for the Cunningham project from the Alaska State Parks and ask Exxon to buy the Cone Page 4 Parks & Recreation Special Meeting 9/6/94 property. Williams added: and ask for $500,000 for the Cone development. Williams said we would make two applications and the Cone application may be chosen over the Cunningham application, or visa versa, or maybe neither one of them will be chosen. Baldwin asked what would happen if we don't get money for either one of them. Gifford said we won't have lost anything, Williams and McGillivray agreed. Bannock asked if the Commission should prioritize the four choices, or recommend applying for just the two. Williams suggested applying for just the Cone and Cunningham properties. The other properties have more problems to deal with than these two. Williams added there is also some ISTEA money floating around that may be used sometime for these other propert ies. McGillivray stated he feels the development of the Cunningham area would mean more to the local citizens, because of fishing and access to the river. He said the drawing Rachel Clark did shows a boardwalk along the front area with access to the sandy beach using steps rather than walking over the banks and also looks at some erosion control. Hultberg asked who would make the final decision. Williams said the Commission needs to make a recommendation to Council and Council will make the decision. Hultberg asked if we should only apply for $300,000. Williams said no, we should apply for as much of the $500,000 as possible. He added it will take that much money to acquire the property and start development. Williams said his suggestion is that we go for the Cone project, and let it take its own speed and go "full guns" for the Cunningham property. Hultberg said we should do our best for both and Williams agreed but added the Cunningham property (as McGillivray already mentioned) would be more desirable to the citizens of Kenai and if the Exxon backing does not go through on the Cone property we won't be doing anything with it anyway. Page 5 Parks & Recreation Special Meeting 9/6/94 MOTION GIFFORD MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT CITY COUNCIL DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR $500,000 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHESTER CONE PROPERTY ACCORDING TO RESOLUTION NO. 94-55 AND ALSO TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR $500,000 TO ACQUIRE/DEVELOP THE THREE LOTS WEST OF CUNNINGHAM PARK. SEIBERT SECONDED. VOTE Hultberg Yes Sandahl Absent Carlson Absent Gifford Yes Massie Absent Seibert Yes Baldwin Yes Hultberg asked if there will be a public hearing at any date. Williams said there has to be one to accept the grant. McGillivray asked for clarification on the Alaska State Parks money, if it is also Exxon money. Williams said yes, it is all from Exxon. 4.

Resolution PZ 94-43: Landscaping/Site Plan Review Tesoro - 7-11 - Kenai Spur Highway MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 94-43. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED. Jack La Shot noted that since this was a commercial development before a building permit can be issued it needed to come before P&Z. Planning and Zoning Commission August 24, 1994 Page 1 Kevin Walker asked for clarification on the last sentence of the Engineer's comments included in the packet, because they were difficult to read. La Shot recommended approval upon verification that the existing structures are free of building or zoning code violations. According to the submitted asbuilt the store is very close to a property line. Since this is commercial property therefore no setbacks are required, but the Building Official needs to clarify that the building is not over property lines. Chairman Walker asked if there were persons in the audience who wished to address this item? Seeing and hearing none he brought it back to the Commission for discussion. Phil Bryson asked for the text from the Building Official's comments, since it was indecipherable. Loretta Harvey read them into the record, "A more complete set of plans and site plan was not available at this time, but will be sent to us ASAP. I do not see any building code violations with the proposed improvement. I also recommend approval." VOTE: Bryson Goecke Vacancy Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES ABSENT YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. B. Resolution PZ 94-44: Preliminary Plat Willow Professional Center - Part 2 MOTION: PHIL BRYSON MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 94-44. RON GOECKE SECONDED. Chairman Walker asked for the City Engineer's comments and that the Building Official comments be read into the record. Planning and Zoning Commission August 24, 1994 Page 2 Jack La Shot reported that this was originally platted as a condominium commercial development. The new owners bought two of the units and chose to remodel the building to one unit which left a property line down the middle of the unit, thus creating a problem with the building code. Administration actually initiated this plat. Loretta Harvey read the Building Official's comments, "In order to comply with the current building code the property line between these two units should be eliminated. I recommend approval." Chairman Walker asked if there were persons present who wished to address the item. Seeing and hearing none he brought it back to the Commission. VOTE: Bryson Goecke Vacancy Werner-Ouade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES ABSENT YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 94-42: Conditional Use Permit 1127 1st Street - Mizera MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 94-42 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AT 1127 FIRST STREET. PHIL BRYSON SECONDED. Chairman Walker requested staff comments. Jack La Shot reported that this CUP was similar to one issued previously for the same property, which was for auto repair and maintenance for a car rental agency. The new business is for steam cleaning. La Shot had no problem with the business, but felt the same concerns should be considered as the previous permit, which were that traffic to and from the business not go through the residential area. Also that a minimum of the activity goes on outside of the main building. Chairman Walker opened the meeting to public comment. Planning and Zoning Commission August 24, 1994 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING Patsy Mizera, owner of the steam cleaning business, the only individuals that would be driving to the site are three employees. There is no walk-in business it's all by telephone. The employees will be instructed to drive via Wildwood Drive. So there should be no traffic down 1st street. Chairman Walker asked how many times a day the employees will be driving up and down that street on an average? Mizera answered about four or five times per day. Chairman Walker asked if there would be off-street parking? Mizera said yes, it would be in the driveway. Ron Goecke recalled that when the previous conditional use was issued there was a question if there was a grease trap, which would drain into the city sewer. La Shot said he thought the Building Official looked at this for the previous permit and he would check on this. Chairman Walker asked if the business was on City water and sewer? Gene Holley responded yes. Chairman Walker said that this business may need to be charged for commercial water and sewer. Mizera said that the only water that would be used would be for washing the vans. The vans travel to other sites and hook into those water system to clean the carpets. Gene Holley stated that all the work is done off premises. It's basically a place to store the cars and equipment. The garage has four bays where the cars will be stored out of site from surrounding neighbors. Phil Bryson had expressed concern at the time of the last action about phasing out businesses in this area, but this business appeared to have a minimum impact on the neighborhood. Chairman Walker asked for further testimony. Seeing and hearing none he closed the public hearing portion. Walker shared concerns about traffic impact, but felt that the impact will be minimal so he would support the permit. Walker called for the question. Planning and Zoning Commission August 24, 1994 Page 4 VOTE: Bryson Goecke Vacancy Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES ABSENT YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. b. Resolution PZ 94-35: Variance - Marion Nelson 116 Wooded Glen Court (postponed until 9/14/94) Chairman Walker reported that the applicant has been contacted by staff whether to proceed with this item. Ms. Nelson had not responded as of the packet deadline. 6. NEW BUSINESS 7. OLD BUSINESS 8. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported that the Council is seeking a cost estimate for paving certain streets in Basin View S/D. The Council would be holding off on appointing a new P&Z Commissioner until a work session can be held to review commission, committees, etc. Smalley invited Chairman Walker and the rest of the Commissioners to attend that meeting and give input. b. Borough Planning Phil Bryson reported that Angler's Acres has requested a time extension. Bryson asked staff if they had received a notification on this request. La Shot said he had and that he felt no additional action was required by the city. The Commission is considering a proposed change to the classification if Borough land. The minor change would allow the disposal of small parcels which are attached to large unclassified parcels. Currently the Borough cannot sell land which is not classified. Planning and Zoning Commission August 24, 1994 Page 5 c. Administration La Shot reported that the Historic District Board would be meeting on September 6th. The Board needs to identify professionals as called for in the Certified Local Government Program, and also to give guidance on a grant application that the City Manager has asked the city to apply for. The car crusher is on the Peninsula and quite a few cars have been moved from the Quandt property. Councilman Smalley asked La Shot the status of the trees which were removed from the KPB Transfer site off Redoubt. La Shot said that the buffer which was shown on the plans was left in place and there is an additional 16 trees which will be transplanted to add to the buffer. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED Gus Rodes, 207 Birch Street, said a decision had been handed down on his non - operating car case. The judge defined extensive repair on automobiles as changing the oil, checking the fuel level, charging a battery, and pumping the tires up.

However, the memo included in the packet stated all payments were current as of August 12, 1994 (which included hotel/motel tax, water/sewer charges, personal property and sales taxes) and sales tax filings for July were not due until 8/31/94. There were no changes to the consent agenda. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the consent agenda as presented and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT There were none. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1602-94 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $3,636 in the General Fund for Additional State Revenue Sharing. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1602-94 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no public or council comments. VOTE: Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Bannock: Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Bookey: Yes Measles: Yes KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 3 C-2. Resolution No. 94-53 - Transferring $6,465 in the General and Airport Funds for an Environmental Site Assessment of the City's Maintenance Shop Area. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Resolution NO. 94-53 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. City Manager Manninen requested the last paragraph of Page 2 of the Northern Test Lab "Maintenance Shop Site Assessment Cost Estimate" be deleted. That paragraph states "...The Client will defend and hold NTL harmless from any claim or action resulting from any contamination except that which results from negligence by NTL." Manninen stated with that deletion he would recommend approval of the agreement. Manninen added he and Kornelis discussed the matter with the owner (Tauriainen) in the afternoon and Tauriainen agreed with the deletion of the paragraph. Bookey questioned the La Shot memorandum included in the packet in which he stated "...We may learn enough through preliminary work that the entire site assessment may take a different direction. Kornelis explained they may find the soil contamination is coming from somewhere else. If so, the action to be taken may be different. Williams asked Administration if it would be more appropriate to pay the total cost of the work from the Airport Lands System instead of splitting the cost because the property was formerly included in the Airport Lands System. Attorney Graves stated he and Finance Director Brown discussed how to allocate the cost since the General Fund leased the property from the Airport Fund. It is a similar situation with the new court house and property. They felt it important the costs be charged the same way. Measles agreed it was the correct way to handle the cost. It keeps it all the same. Manninen reported further on his discussions with Mike Tauriainen. Manninen mentioned to Tauriainen that he (Manninen) understood why Tauriainen would request such a coverage in liability and protection for his company, but there is no guarantee against a lawsuit in any event and the city should not be fronting any cost and would not be. On the other items he has dealt with, Manninen stated he never indemnified contractors' liability or held them harmless unless it was a mutual agreement and the contractors' policies included the same information. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 4 Manninen stated it was a standoff if done that way and why hold the contractor harmless. They are getting the job from the city. It is part of their fixed cost and overhead. It is part of the bid. They should follow through with it and get their own insurance. If they get sued, they will go after the deepest pocket and that will be the city. In the end Tauriainen agreed, but basically said he might as well have given it a shot. Pete Campbell, Northern Test Lab. Campbell confirmed the discussions between Manninen and Tauriainen and stated he was told Tauriainen decided to drop the hold harmless clause and the had no problem in doing so. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the motion by deleting the last paragraph on Page 2 of the Northern Test Lab contract with the city beginning "The Client..." and ending "...by NTL." Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: There were no objections of the amendment. SO ORDERED. Williams requested a roll call vote on Resolution No. 94-53. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-3.

MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 94-54 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no public or council comments. Williams explained the resolution is for having a cost estimate prepared.

Swarner added the members would like to remove the secretary/treasurer position and change the name of president to chairperson in the bylaws. Attorney Graves stated he would review the bylaws to see if the changes could be made administratively or if they would need Council approval. Williams asked Director Porter if the Council on Aging handled any of the city funds. Porter stated they have totally separate funding from the Senior Center funding. Swarner asked if Council had any objections. There were none stated. D-2. Airport Commission Councilman Measles reported there was no meeting because there was no quorum. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported there was no meeting due to a lack of quorum. Measles suggested it should be stated the commissions did not have meetings due to a lack of interest of some of the commissioners.

Lease Sale 90 schedule is being added to the five-year program next year. Williams stated he wanted Council to be aware when the sale comes up. Williams stated comments need to be submitted by December 15. Williams suggested Council prepare a resolution in regard to the lease sale for submission as comments. Monfor stated she did not feel comfortable with passing a resolution with only the information provided in the packet.

Williams referred to the report entitled, "Alaska/Sakhalin Overview" which was included in the packet. The overview included a short discussion about forming a joint Alaska -Sakhalin Chamber of Commerce. The proposal is that there would be no cost to participate. However discussions with Marathon have revealed they are hoping to receive funding from the federal government in order to form the chamber. Williams stated he would like to send a letter in support of the concept of forming a joint Alaska - Sakhalin Chamber of Commerce. Also he would like to request more information forwarded as well as maintaining the City of Kenai on their mailing list. No commitment will be stated at this time. Consensus of council was to send a letter of support and request the local chambers to get involved as well. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 10 H-7. Discussion - Leif Hansen Memorial Park Water Fountain. Kornelis referred to the memorandum included in the packet. At this time, the design of the fountain includes loose rock around for decoration. Because of the rocks being thrown at them, the fountain heads are being damaged. Kornelis requested Council's permission to concrete over the loose rocks to keep the rocks in place and hopefully less damage will be done to the fountain heads. Kornelis discussed several suggestions. One suggestion, from the water/sewer foreman, was to put in a drain and use colored dye and exposed aggregate. Kornelis asked for Council's suggestions. Kornelis added the exposed aggregate would allow the rocks to show through the concrete. Dr. Peter Hansen - Stated how pleased he was with the flower gardens and the Memorial Park. He has heard positive reactions to the park and flowers from patients, friends, relatives, and business visitors. His family suggested removing some layers of the rocks and pour a cone of concrete, with a drain, and then cover again with rocks. Hansen added he trusts whatever the Council and Administration decide to do. Bookey suggested using the exposed aggregate. Kornelis stated he will bring forward an idea, a cost estimate and contractor to the next meeting for Council approval. H-8. Discussion - Contaminated Soil From Airport Generator and Public Safety Building Underground Fuel Tank Abandonment. A memorandum from Kornelis was handed out at the beginning of the meeting explaining the request for a change order and approval of a purchase order in the amount of $1,001 for cleaning contaminated soil left from the airport generator and the Public Safety Building underground fuel tank abandonment. Kornelis stated using Glacier courthouse contaminated soil $6,000 and $10,000. Glacier the following: 1. The City will haul Monday, August 22, City may need more Environmental, contractor for the project would save the city between Environmental's proposal includes the soil to the courthouse site by 1994 and dispose of the liners. The time to get ADEC approvals. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 11 2. The City will reimburse Glacier for their testing cost. It is estimated to cost around $1,001 for shipping and lab analysis. 3. The City will extend the completion date for the Courthouse Soils Cleaning Project from September 15, 1994 to September 30, 1994. 4. The City will allow Glacier to store their equipment at the courthouse site this winter at no charge (until May 1, 1995) . Kornelis added his office is trying to work out details with ADEC to allow this work to go forward. Bookey asked if approval could be received from ADEC. Kornelis stated his understanding is it would take about one week to receive approval. Gradation of the soil has already been completed and has been sent to ADEC. A disposal site has been created. More time may be needed for ADEC to forward their approval. Glacier is trying to get the courthouse soils project completed by September 15. Manninen added cost will be more if the work is not done this year by Glacier. Smalley suggested they have Glacier do the work. Measles asked if the delivery of the soils can be postponed until approval is received from DEC. Kornelis stated the hauling of the soils will take a day. Measles asked how much the fine would be to go ahead without the okay from DEC or wait and bid it in the spring. Kornelis stated that had been discussed. Kornelis added he did not believe DEC would fine the city. He hoped DEC would forward a letter by the end of the week. A representative of Glacier Environmental was in the audience. He stated they were flexible. Manninen asked if a week from this Friday was acceptable. The representative stated he would work with the city anyway they could. He would have to talk with the owner about it but did not see it as a big problem. H-Sa.

Mayor Water Well - Williams requested Council to direct Administration to prepare a water well assessment report regarding a new water well for use during the upcoming KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 13 legislative session. Williams suggested a request should also be prepared for the reappropriating of residual monies left from the golf course to Thompson Park portion of the water/sewer improvement project to be added to the $211,665 funding already received from the State (with a match of $90,000 from the City). Williams added the City should ask for funds for construction of water lines within Thompson Park but in order to do that cost information should be compiled in order to ask the legislature for the funding. Williams added under new federal programs, the city may not be successful in receiving funding because the situation is not health and life threatening. Williams requested a report as soon as possible. No action taken. Paving - Williams requested the Council review the City's paving program. Williams stated he would like to put together a $1 million package of roads to choose from, including the Basin View Subdivision. Water quality and road upgrading should be looked at favorably by the legislature. The paving and water well information should be forwarded to the Borough as soon as possible in order for them to be listed on the Borough's request lists. Measles stated the status on water quality may get worse as the EPA has proposed new regulations. The new regulations are to severely tighten up water standards. Kornelis stated he had spoken with the DEC in regard to remaining grant monies. They may not have to go back to the legislature to be used. Williams stated he would like to have the information available for quick reference. Smalley agreed that it would be a good idea. Williams asked Kornelis if plans could be done. Kornelis stated he has not asked for proposals yet as there were no definite plan. Williams asked for engineering design work to be done before the legislature convenes in January. No action taken. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 14 I-2. City Manager Municipal Assistance Formula - Manninen requested any input about the municipal assistance formula he spoke of at the last meeting to be forwarded to him or he will forward what they discussed in the prior meeting. Manninen added he was involved in two telephone conferences regarding municipal assistance and the 1994 AML policy statement. He and Williams stated the City's concern with the formula. Manninen stated they were asked to put their concerns in writing. If Council wants to comment, please do before Friday. Thompson Park Funding - Manninen asked if Council wanted Administration to review extending water/sewer to Thompson Place and the information for water well costs. There are only four homes on Thompson Place. Williams stated he believed the water well problem should be dealt with first. All available funds should be used for water wells. Bookey added $400,000 for four houses would be very expensive. Manninen stated if the money could not be used for anything but sewer projects, sewer to Thompson Place would be a fall -back project. Bookey agreed it could be a fall -back project. Williams suggested protecting the appropriation of left over money. If the money must be used for water and sewer projects, they will have Thompson Place as a fall -back project. No action taken. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk a. Christmas Party - Clerk Freas requested Council to choose a date for the employees' Christmas party. January 7 1995 was set for the party to be held at the Senior Center. b.

The ad was to include the City's logo and the All -America City logo with a KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 15 suggested message stating "The City of Kenai Salutes Tesoro Alaska Petroleum as a good neighbor for 25 years and a cornerstone of our economy."

Williams suggested Finance Director Brown build the advertisement up a bit, adding more information. The advertisement should be placed some time after the October election. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 17 C. No. 3 Fire Truck Restoration - Williams suggested Council give some thought to offer some funds for the restoration costs of the fire truck. Monfor asked where the truck would be housed. Chief Burnett reported they had not yet set a restoration plan. Burnett added he believed the truck would be temporarily housed at the station, however there is no need for it to be housed at any city building at this time. He would like to keep the truck inside. They plan to use the truck for parades and special events. It will probably take about 1-12 years to complete the restoration. Williams asked what the approximate cost for restoration would be. Finance Director Brown stated in his experience it could take up to $30,000. Burnett added labor would be done in-house. Burnett also reported the ISO representative would be in Kenai for a full rating of the city. ISO has indicated the city could go to a No. 4 rating with no problem. They are hoping for a No. 3 rating which would reduce insurance costs by ten percent.

Discussion - Kenai River Viewing Area Park. Williams referred to the information included in the packet in regard to this proposed park. Williams stated he remembered concern of Council as to the cost of construction of the park. At the time it was discussed, there was hope of using prison help. However, that can no longer be done. Williams stated Council discussed the park at their goals and objectives work session and Administration was directed to forward suggestions of whether to continue or not. Bookey stated the park was discussed before his election. Bookey asked who the park is to serve, i.e. what segment of the public. Williams answered when originally discussed, the park was to have a dump site for use by recreational vehicles. The park was to serve the traveling public and city residents. The park would add recreational facilities for the city and complement the Senior Center. This site was chosen because of the view and esthetics. Now there is concern of liability at that site due to the cliff, etc. Swarner stated she did not like to send back money, but believes it would take more than $88,000 on the City's part to build the park. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 10 iYce-I+IPCOPS Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to rescind council action and let the $88,000 grant lapse. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Measles stated the grant does not expire until the end of the year. Measles questioned why make the decision now. Manninen stated an extension of the grant can be requested. Measles suggested waiting until closer to the end of the expiration time and bring the discussion back to council to make a decision. Circumstances may change between now and then. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to table the discussion with no time certain. Manninen asked if Administration should request an extension now so that the grant does not lapse. Measles suggested a date be placed on the motion to table. Measles suggested the first meeting in September.

ACTION TAKEN: MASSIE MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BUDGET WITH THE 3% CUT FOR SUBMISSION TO CITY COUNCIL. SEIBERT SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. F. Discussion regarding the proposed Kenai River Mouth Viewing Area Park. Contact was made with agency administering the grant and the grant money cannot be diverted to another area. The total grant will be $176,000 with the City of Kenai offering $88,000 for its share. It was felt the park could not be built for that amount of money and that some changes would have to occur to stay within the limits of the grant. Changes can be made within the park as long as the scope of the park does not change. ACTION TAKEN: SANDAHL MADE A MOTION THAT THE PROPOSED KENAI RIVER MOUTH VIEWING AREA PARK SHOULD BE PUT ON HOLD DUE TO THE FACT THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CITY WILL RECEIVE MATCHING FUNDS THE CITY WILL STILL NEED TO COME UP WITH $88,000 OF NEW MONEY. IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS OF A 3% CUT AND A HYPOTHETICAL 16% CUT, THIS SEEMS ASININE. SEIBERT SECONDED.

BOX 107001 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99510-7001 Dear Mr. McGjRivray:���.� 1 Thanks for your recent phone call regarding the Kenai River Mouth Viewing Area Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant project. To recap our conversation the following information is provided: 1. Should the City of Kenai decide to cancel this project and return the funds, it would in no way adversely affect their chances of obtaining future LWCF funding. 2. Should this project be cancelled, the City could not transfer the funding to a different project. 3. This project competed against other proposals based upon the specified scope of work. If any changes in scope were allowed, they could only be minor in nature. The originally proposed purpose and use of the site would have to be maintained in order to utilize the LWCF monies. I hope this answers the questions you had about the grant. Unfortunately, funding for this grant program is limited, and competition for the funding is intense. Therefore, in fairness to all agencies who compete, we are not able to allow much flexibility in the use of the funds. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me at the above address, or at 762-2607.

How do you feel about preparing a resolution along those lines. Council agreed. Administration to work with mayor Williams in drafting the resolution in support of the Governors Constitutional Amendment Creating an Educational Endowment Fund. City Manager Brighton: How much money and what is the end result. Mayor Williams answered, eventually around $16 billion. Councilwoman Monfor: There is a pamphlet for more information. g) This Education Endowment Fund and the hoped for Constitutional Amendment has passed the House on a vote of 31 - 8 and requires a 2/3 vote of the House. It goes to the Senate and work should be done this spring. h) Regarding landfill. In discussions with Borough representatives it was suggested that the City produce a resolution requesting the Kenai Peninsula Borough furnish us with a landfill of our own. Leading to perhaps leasing sitings for containers and locating a transfer site. We are not going to get a transfer site unless we take some positive steps and it seems to me we need to develop a resolution voicing our opinion directly to the entire Assembly. City Manager Brighton: We're in a real box. The Council hammered for three or four years to close this landfill, they got an extension on that landfill and we objected to the extension after they had gotten it. I've had some conversation with the Borough Mayor and he doesn't care whether we retain this one over here or not, because it would be like starting out new. He has to get a brand new permit and he has to line this one out here as he will have to line any new one. However, as soon as we say we want them to furnish us some way to dispose of our waste, then the Assembly is going to come back to us and say the reason they're closing it down because we have leaned on them for four years to close that down. We are not in a very good negotiating position to take that approach. Mayor Williams: However, in our agreement in our letter that was developed with them, there was to be a transfer site. City Manager Brighton: There was no agreement for a transfer site. There was an allusion to the possibility of a transfer site. That's a lot different than a pre- arranged agreement. City Clerk to provide the letter for further discussion. F I have another grant application from the Land and Water Resource mission. If you recall the 50/50 grant we helped the Chamber develop which we have not yet gotten the survey out. Director Kornelis: We still working on it. Mayor Williams: The question is whether or not we want to take advantage of the L&WR grant program. The application and letter of intent must be in by October 18th. One area that I might suggest; we were looking at some kind of grant to put a viewing platform out on the bluff overlooking the mouth of the river. I would like direction from Council. ATTACHMENT i - 0F i KENAI CITY COUNCIL October 4, 1989 Page 18 Councilwoman Monfor: Just by entering into, we don't even know if we'll get it. Mayor Williams: No, you take your application in and they take it before the Committee and we compete against the entire state. We did get a $90,000 grant last time for the Chamber boardwalk. Councilwoman Monfor: I think we should at least try for it. Is there any reason why we shouldn't. Except the fact that if we get it we have to put some money in. Mayor Williams: We would have to put up $90,000. City Manager Brighton: If you're talking about a viewing stand you have to identify the location of the site, and if you are not the owner of the site, then you have to prove ownership of the site .. it's not so simple as asking for $100,000. They want to know what the project is, if you own the real estate, and who the benefactors are going to be. We don't have any real estate at the mouth of the river where we could build a viewing stand that would be advantageous to people who want to watch the belugas come up the river. Mayor Williams: How did we wind up with the set of drawings for the viewing station that we got $90,000 for last year. Councilwoman Monfor: We determined that from the study we had done a number of years ago when the landscaping architect came up and developed the Old Towne plan. Mayor Williams: Was there any consideration given to land ownership. Councilwoman Monfor: Of course not, we weren't worried about that. Mayor Williams: Councilwoman Swarner, will you look into the donation of land in that area. Councilwoman Swarner: My name, I don't believe is on that list. If you would like to contact the parties involved, go for it. Councilwoman Monfor: We've got land. The.Daubenspeck land. We can rethink our lookout spot. Over near the Senior Center. Meor Williams. All right, we-. do_ .have: a ,locatiorr.:. Maur.- Mi 7 7 ; am- asked Director Kornelis to get together a'letter of intent by October 18th. j) My final request is to consider some work sessions to finalize the Capital Improvements List and to plot the direction for the future including everything within the city. Councilwoman Monfor: We do need to talk about this list. I would like to see us wait, this year, just until after the October forecast comes out. Then we don't have to redo it. Mayor Williams: The Governor indicated he would have a handle on the money about the middle of October. If I read between the lines he suggests that we be in touch with our legislative friends and him as close to that forecast as possible. Councilwoman Monfor: I will not be available from October 17th to October 30th. Mayor Williams: As soon as we find out what the forecast is going to be, would Council have any objection to me or the Clerk getting on the phone and calling a meeting? Council agreed.

The land that is currently in City ownership, which we identified as part of the match, meets all of the conditions that you listed in your letter except (1) the property in question must be land which was granted by the federal government to the State of Alaska and subsequently granted by the state to the local unit of government. Since this property does not meet this criteria the City of Kenai will not use the land as part of the City's match of in -kind contributions. I have attached the following revised sheets: 1. Development Information Summary 2. Rough Preliminary Cost Estimate Summary 3. Schedule of In -Kind Contribution 4. Assurance of Non -Federal Matching Share These revised sheets deleted the land donations as part of our matching share. Under this newly revised summary, the City of V Kenai will be providing $60,000 of general fund appropriation funds and $28,000 of force account work. G It should be noted that the City of Kenai does plan on doing a i considerable amount of construction work outside the project area, which is not included in this program. This work, consisting = mainly of road construction and sidewalks, will be paid for by the V City of Kenai and will not be included as part of the project CP costs, since it is outside the project boundaries. Q _ p, Page 2 The City of Kenai understands and accepts the requirement that all power lines, telephone lines, etc... within the project boundary must be buried. The City of Kenai offers the following information concerning the rating factors of scoring on this project. Criteria A• Need No. 3 Public Participation: The City feels that public input to the proposal was actively solicited by the City and the input was favorable. The project was brought to the attention of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce where it was discussed and found favorable. The project was also discussed many times by the Council of the City of Kenai in work sessions and public council meetings. The City of Kenai held a public hearing on December 20, 1989 at which time they passed Resolution No. 89-80. This public hearing was advertised in the local newspaper and public input was solicited. Because of these reasons, the City of Kenai feels that 3 points should be awarded for public participation. No. 5 Project Accessibility for the General Public and Special Population Groups. The City of Kenai feels that this project will provide both facilities and programs for the public including all the special population groups of handicapped, seniors, minorities, and economically depressed. The drawings that were submitted as part of the application specifically note that all the facilities are to be designed and built to accommodate the handicapped. In looking at our drawings, one can see that special consideration was given to these groups through both the project design and location which would eliminate any barriers and promote the use of the project. This project is located adjacent to the RV caravan site which consists mainly of senior citizen tourists visiting the area, which also brings money into our area which is somewhat presently economically depressed. The site is also adjacent to the Senior Center and will be connected via sidewalks and roadways to the Senior Center. This project, the restrooms, facilities, sidewalks, w picnic areas and warming shelters are being designed for heelchair and handicap access. The senior citizens, handicapped, or other persons that do not want to or cannot participate in the basketball or volleyball programs have other programs such as picnic areas, wildlife and scenic viewing including interpretive signs. As shown on the drawings there will be numerous picnic areas, including tables and benches. These benches would be strategically located as viewing areas. These facilities and programs will be made available to the public at no cost, which would benefit the economically depressed and minorities. The City of Kenai therefore feels that we should be awarded 15 points in this category. ATTACHMENT <' PAGE_.. OF-E- Page 3 Criteria B: Threat or Irrevocable Loss of Opportunity No. 1 Severe Conseauences Resulting From Failure To Act (land resource removed from Public access; special needs of population) The City of Kenai feels that we should be awarded 5 points since there is some possibility for loss of the site or resource. The City of Kenai has had inquiries for purchasing or leasing of this land for a restaurant. There has also been some consideration, and even drawings have been done, designating this site as a site for a City of Kenai Civic or Community Center. If we were to fail to act on this project there is a possibility that this site could be lost. Criteria C: Quality of Site No. 3 Proximity to Public Facilities: The City of Kenai feels that it should be awarded 2 points since the project will be adjacent to other public facilities and it can be shown that this will significantly contribute to the facility use. In looking at the vicinity map, you will note that the project site is adjacent to the RV caravan site, Senior Citizens Center, and the Lief Hanson Memorial Park. The series of concrete sidewalks, inter -tying these sites which are adjacent to one another, will significantly contribute to the facility use. Criteria D: Administrative Factors No. 3 Ability to Operate and Maintain Project after Development is Completed: The City of Kenai definitely feels we should receive 2 points since the City has a Parks and Recreation staff and a program and budget for operation and maintenance. The City of Kenai appropriated $476,356.00 in its 1989-90 Parks and Recreation Budget. The Parks and Recreation Department has an excellent staff and would have no problem, what so ever, fitting the operation and maintenance of this park into their program. No. 4 Ability to Provide Matching Funds: I imagine this was left blank because of the question of whether or not the land donation would be an acceptable match and whether or not the City would have the funds to match the grant. As you can see from the revised sheets that are included, the City has no problem matching the 50% of the total cost. The enclosed documentation entitled "Assurance of Non -Federal Matching Funds" signed by the City Manager shows evidence that we have sufficient funds to initiate this project. Therefore, we feel that the City of Kenai should receive 2 points under this criteria. AWACHMEMT PAGE_.3 —OF Page 4 The City of Kenai feels that the scoring recap should be as follows: SCORING RECAP Section A ...... Total Points 55 Section B...... Total Points 5 Section C...... Total Points 10 Section D...... Total Points 7 GRAND TOTAL 77 This would place our project in the high priority listing. I hope that the above information has been helpful to you in re- evaluating our scoring. I am sorry that this information was not more readily available in our application, but we do appreciate the opportunity to clarify these points. Mayor John T. Williams, the Mayor of the City of Kenai and myself, Keith Kornelis, Director of Public Works, will be at the Governors Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee Meeting on January 25, 1990. It is our understanding that the meeting will take place at the DNR Commissioner's conference room, suite 1210, Frontier Building, 3601 "C" Street in Anchorage. Our presentation will be at 11:00 a.m. however, we will be in place and ready to give our presentation at 10:30, thirty minutes prior to our scheduled time. The City of Kenai will not need any special equipment for our presentation. We wish to thank you for the opportunity to present our project to the committee and look forward to the meeting. While this is being faxed the original documents are being mailed to you. If any further information is needed please call me. Sincerely, Keith Kornelis Public Works Director KK/kv cc: John T.

Kenai Flats Wildlife Viewing Area - Boardwalk ---W b. Kenai River Mouth Viewing Area - Day Park c. NPDES Permit - Sewer Treatment Plant FOR: Kenai City Council Meeting of February 7, 1990 A. KENAI FLATS WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA This project, also known as the Boardwalk Project, is back in the hands of the Alaska State Parks. They are presently drawing up the contract agreement. We received the deed for the piece of land that connects the turnout to our property. I signed the last of the paperwork (except for the contract grant agreement) on January 25, 1990. Alaska Parks is sending the contract grant agreement to Seattle and Washington, D.C. for signature by the federal government. Alaska Parks thinks we will get the go ahead in about one month, or around March 1, 1990. They do not anticipate any problem. B. KENAI RIVER MOUTH VIEWING AREA The project grant document was presented to the Governor's Outdoor Recreation Committee on January 25, 1990. There were thirteen proposals introduced. The Committee ranked our project No. 7. The projects were prioritized as follows: -1- ATTPICHMENT C D Alaska Division of Parks - Action Plan $ 24,000 1. Bristol Bay - Sovonoski Park 81,437 2. City of Petersburg --Trail System 80,767 3. Alaska Division of Parks - Finger Lake 100,000 4. City of Craig - James Memorial Park 71,379 5. Alaska Division of Parks - Eagle River 200,000 6. Alaska Department of Fish & Game - Susitna Cabins 24,000 7. City of Kenai - River Mouth View 88,000 TOTAL $669,583 The Alaska Division of Parks Action Plan was designated as a planning project and given approval before they prioritized the other projects. It is my understanding that there is $642,937 available. I estimate that our project will be $26,646 short ($669,583 - $642,937 = $26,646). However, I understand that project No. 6, Alaska Department of Fish & Game, Susitna Cabins may not be approved. There is a question as to whether the Fish & Game has management authority over this land, which is a requirement. The Department of Natural Resources claims that they have that authority and will not sign the property off to Fish & Game. If the Susitna Cabin project proceeds, our project will be funded with a $61,354 grant. With the City's $61,354 match, the project total will be $122,708. If the Susitna Cabin project is not approved, the City will have a $85,354 grant, with a $170,708 project total. C. NPDES PERMIT FOR THE SEWER TREATMENT PLANT We received the draft of the EPA Compliance Order for the Sewer Treatment Plant. A tremendous amount of reporting, testing, and additional work is involved. There is no doubt that we will need at least one more operator. Also, there are deadlines that will have to be met. Those deadlines include having an engineering design contract by March 30, 1990; funding by July 30, 1990; bids opened by November 1, 1990; and construction completion by September 30, 1991. -2- ATTPiCHMEMT P A Q Ec X 0FF_ N State provides partial funding fof'Kett,i dbervatl ANcN ri�r�s By BEh ELLIS -310 /9') The park Is p tp be built on a w; TIMES KENAI BUREAU bluff overlooking the Kenai River and be- hind the Leif Hansen Memorial Park an: x: f�� _ - .

The attached Resolution 89-80 was passed by Council on December 20, 1989 authorizing the application and supporting the project. After making our presentation last year we were told that we made the list of grant recipients. Unfortunately the State of Alaska did not get the anticipated FY90 funding from the federal government and we ended up not getting the grant. This year we found out about this program rather late but managed to convince the Department of Natural Resources to just use the grant application submitted last year. The City received the State Parks staff project priority rating form on February 15, 1991. They came up with a total of 86 points which rated us at medium priority. After explaining some items that I felt should be higher their staff points went up to 102 which gave us a high priority. On March 8, 1991 I presented the grant application to the Governor's Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee (GORAC), chaired by Lt. Governor Coghill in Anchorage. Attached is the State Parks letter dated March 13, 1991 that prioritizes the projects. Our project is listed under "FY91 LWCF Apportionment - Now Available to Put Under Grant" and State Parks has assured me that we will be getting the grant this time. The City's Parks and Recreation Committee looked at the drawings of this project at their last meeting and I left them in the Council chambers for the Council to see at their next meeting.

Recipient shall perform the work of the project in accordance with Exhibit A and amendments thereto. 2. The estimated total cost of the project is $ 176,000.00 The non-federal share of the total cost is $ 88,000.00 , of which* $ -o- will be provided by the State of Alaska, ivision of Parks. Recipient s a 1, in the first instance, pay all costs of the project. Upon completion of the project, Recipient shall submit to State an itemized statement of the actual total cost of the project. 3. Upon receipt from Recipient of the itemized statement of the actual total cost of the project and completion of the project by Recipient in accor- dance with the terms of this agreement, State shall apply to the National Park Service for one-half the estimated total cost of the project or one-half the actual total cost of the project, whichever is the lesser and, upon receipt kt'1�'7:�% �HM=_NT � P P PAGE — OF 3 thereof from the National Park Service, shall pay such amount to Recipient, less a sum not to exceed A0 % of the total project cost for administrative costs. It is understood by die —parties hereto that where the actual total cost of the project exceeds the estimated total cost of the project, State shall not be obligated to apply to the National Park Service for, or to pay to Recipi- ent, any amount in excess of one-half such estimated total cost, and that Recipient shall be solely responsible for any excess of the actual total cost over the estimated total cost. State may, where acceptable to the National Park Service apply for federal funds prior to completion of the project and pay such amount from federal funds to Recipient for completion of such por- tions of the project as may be agreed upon by Recipient, State and National Park Service. 4. The Recipient warrants that it has sufficient financial resources to enable it to develop, operate and maintain the facility for public recreation, that the Recipient will manage and operate the facility for use by the public and will do so exclusively for park and recreational purposes; and that the Recipient will not sell, assign, or in any other manner whatsoever dispose or transfer any interest in the facility or control over the facility except after prior written consent of the State Division of Parks and the National Park Service. For purposes of this section, "facility" shall mean all real and personal property acquired directly or indirectly under this agreement. 5.

Furthermore, if Reci- pient fails to perform any of the work of the project and such failure, be- cause of commitments made by State to the National Park Service, forces State to perform any work necessary to bring the project to a useful stage of completion (as determined by State and the National Park Service), Recipient shall reimburse State for all State's costs in performing such necessary com- pletion work, less any federal funds received by State for such work. 6. Recipient hereby agrees at all times to comply with the LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION HIND PROTECT AGREEMENT - General provisions, attached hereto, marked "Exhibit B" and by this reference, made a part hereof. 7. Reference to $10,000.00 in Part III D 1 and 3 of the General Pro- visions (attached hereto) applies, unless the Recipient is governed by bidding procedures which specify a lesser amount, in which case the Recipient's applicable bidding procedures shall be followed. 8. The provisions of the main body of this agreement and Exhibit B shall prevail, in case of conflict, over the provisions of Exhibit A. 9.

MAYOR: I think the agreement might spell Out ... SWARNER: I know what the agreement says, but... MAYOR: Non-federal share of the total I PAGE 0 F--41_ 40 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 3, 1991 PAGE 13 cost is $88,000. SWARNER: What's our share going to be? Will it exceed that? CITY MANAGER BRIGHTON: Would you like an opinion expressed? SWARNER: Yes. BRIGHTON: The figures that were estimated were put together some two years ago. It is my opinion there is no way that what has been put on the drawing board for that park, there is no way that park could be built for $176,000. SWARNER: Do you have an estimate? BRIGHTON: No, I do not. McCOMSEY: Can we go back to the federal government if this does exceed that and request for half again? BRIGHTON: No, we cannot. SWARNER: We can tell them though that we don't want any money, right? BRIGHTON: You can reduce and ask for an amendment for the grant and reduce what you have designed and ask them to agree to that amendment. But, if you'll take a look in your packet, there is a layout and design. Take a look at the asphalt and concrete, and the basketball court and the picnic tables, warming situation, there just isn't anyway in the world that, in my opinion, you can do all of that, plus the earth work, Plus you've got to have access to the site, that you can do that for $176,000. SWARNER: Is that the design over there? BRIGHTON: Yes, it is. Council, you must remember, this is only my opinion. But if you take a look at it and look at what it comprises, I think you'll come to the same conclusion yourselves. COUNCILMAN MCCOMSEY: If we agree on this resolution, then we have to build this? BRIGHTON: The grant was made on the basis that that project was used in front of the granting group. This was designed and this was what we were going to do with the money should we get it. They gave us the award on the basis of this design and computations. Is that correct Keith? MAYOR: Let's direct some questions to the public works director. How do you view the cost of this particular park shaping up, Keith? KORNELIS: It would depend on the extent that we want to go to on creating the different items that are in here. A lot of this could be done by our in-house crews. BRIGHTON: That's another alternative. KORNELIS: Leasing a dozer and that type of thing. The volleyball courts are just going to be sand courts. The basketball court was just going to be concrete slab, similar to the ones next to Thompson Park, Beaver Creek, over on Fourth Avenue, and we've got one other one. The parking lot of course would be pavement - asphalt. And then the sidewalks would be similar to the $16,000 we're spending on Lief Hansen Memorial Park for those sidewalks. Picnic tables - the prison is, in fact the prisoners are very anxious to do a lot of this work and they PAGE0E-1— KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 3, 1991 PAGE 14 �do build picnic tables right there in Wildwood. So depending on how elaborate we wanted to get, they would be willing to do most of the picnic tables. Like the city manager said, this budget was created two years ago. The first time it was presented by Mayor Williams to the committee, and we thought we had the grant then, this last year. BRIGHTON: The restrooms are not connected to water and sewer. KORNELIS: Yes, they are. We have water right there, in fact you can see the hydrant right near the parking lot. So, the water and sewer would be connected by our water and sewer crew. The only way this thing would work, is if our crews did a lot of the work, and that's what we'd probably end up having to do. COUNCILMAN MEASLES: The basketball court and sidewalk areas, if you used asphalt instead of concrete, how much would that reduce the cost? KORNELIS: Probably considerably. MEASLES: If we did things like that, and used our crews to the extent possible for the things that we, could do and used Wildwood for what they could do, can the project be done today for the $176,000 that we have to do it? KORNELIS: I would say we could make it by using our own crews. I think we could make it by using our own crews. MEASLES: Without making any major modifications that we would have to go back to the feds with the design? KORNELIS: Yes. Such as, like you said, maybe the asphalt sidewalks. Picnic tables donated by Wildwood. We pay for the wood, and that type of thing. It's possible. The restrooms are just going to be a simple concrete block restroom - about as simple as we can get. McCOMSEY: What's the dirt work gonna cost on this project. It looks enormous. KORNELIS: Well, we'd do that with our own crews too. We'd have to lease a dozer because we don't have a dozer. We've got some topsoil that's been donated, at least at this time, I don't know about next year, and there is some topsoil on the site. The idea was to go in like with a D-9, round it off and smooth it off, and try to contour it. Of course the areas for volleyball and basketball would have to be leveled. But, the rest of the areas could be hilly or whatever. MAYOR WILLIAMS: Keith, it looks like the biggest expense to this particular project is going to be the parking lot, restroom, and perhaps the warming shelter. The rest of it, if you look at all the little squares here, what we're really talking about is portable material that, as you say, we can probably have manufactured at Wildwood and shipped out here. Nailing it down just to the parking lot and the restrooms and warming shelter, is the money there - with asphalt sidewalk rather than concrete? KORNELIS: Well, we just paved in front of the boardwalk - some $5,500. That's probably the same length as one side of this parking. The other option may be not to pave the parking lot. I V I KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 3, 1991 PAGE 15 ►don't think we'd be required to even pave that. Which means we could possibly get away with that, I don't know. MCCOMSEY: Is that going to have to be an amendment now, before we accept this? KORNELIS: No, I don't believe there is anywhere that it stipulates that we have to pave. WILLIAMS: I want to say that the Wildwood guys did a really great job on the walkway down at the bird flats. I don't know how many hours they had in it all together, but they were very good at that and they did a tremendous job. KORNELIS: When we did the dirt work down there. The city crews did it. WILLIAMS: The city crews did the dirt work and we contracted the paving. KORNELIS: That and driving the piles were the only actual construction contracted that we did down there. WILLIAMS: Are you planning on building this year? Next year? KORNELIS: Next year, I think. We're so swamped right now. WILLIAMS: My opinion is that we ought to accept the grant now. Take a look at it in the Spring and go from there. MONFOR: Well, one thing good about it. The campers living in their tents with no toilet facilities or dumpsters will have a place... WILLIAMS: Next year. Alright, council are you ready for a vote? VOTE: Resolution 91-44 McComsey: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. Williams: Yes Walker: No Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes ITEM B-1 - ALLAN NORVILLE for Carr-Gottstein re: Old Carr's Mall. Mr. Norville opened with some background information regarding this proposal referring to a February council meeting which he attended. At that meeting there was a proposal put forth by the hockey people for building a new ice arena at a considerable cost. He met with a structural engineer to explore the possibilities of putting an ice rink in the existing Carr's (old mall) building and converting the balance of it to some community uses. That engineer advised that it could be done at a considerable savings. He spoke with the Carr-Gottstein people who decided to explore it, which is the reason for this presentation this evening. Mr. Kluge has done drawings and feasibility studies and talked to different user groups. It turns out there are more users than space. This proposal is a venture that will be revenue producing.

Manninen City Manager FROM: Daniel L. Morris 30 Chief of Police DATE: August 31, 1994 SUBJECT: E911 As part of the Enhanced 911 system, the Borough Department of Emergency Management is providing the funds to the Kenai Communi- cations Department for purchasing two 17" computer monitors. The Director of Emergency Management, Bob Heavilin, has agreed to reimburse the Communications Department in the amount of $1560.00 for the monitors (Borough purchase order #117782). Mr. Heavilin has also agreed to provide the Communications Department with the software and hardware necessary to utilize the full capabilities of the E911 system. With the system fully on-line, a map will appear on the monitor indicating the location of the call each time a 911 line is answered. In addition, text on the screen will display the physical address of the caller. The system is capable of dis- playing up to eight incoming 911 calls simultaneously in a split screen format. This system should increase the speed and accuracy of an emergen- cy dispatch. The map system will also assist dispatch in giving directions to emergency units responding to mutual aid requests outside our area. I am requesting a city ordinance increasing revenue by $1560.00 in the Communications Department. cc:, Charles Brown DLM: lrr u-y Suggested by: Librarian City of Kenai ORDINANCE NO. 1605-94 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA INCREASING ESTIMATED REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS BY $13,862 IN THE GENERAL FUND AS A RESULT OF RECEIVING TWO STATE LIBRARY GRANTS.

Williams & Kenai City Council FROM: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager J�v DATE: August 19, 1994 RE: KENAI AMBULANCE BILLING FEES, EFFECTIVE 10/1/94; PUBLIC HEARING RECOMMENDED Following the Mayor and City Council's directions at the FY95 budget sessions, Administration has prepared, and I have approved, a tentative ambulance billing rate schedule EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1994. It is attached for your review and consideration, along with the Finance Director's August 18, 1994 memorandum. I have initialed/approved the ambulance billing rates dated August 19, 1994 per KMC 7.15.100. Since setting these fees are subject to change by the Council, I am requesting council's consideration/ ratification with at least one public hearing prior to the October 1, 1994 effective date. The procedures look workable, practical and streamlined with a mix of "contracting out" some minor, specialized Medicare/Medicaid billings. They address problems to be faced in the future; the City cannot continue to offer free ambulance services. The dedication of 20% of the new ambulance fees for ambulance/EMS equipment replacement with a cap of $250,000 is also a way to get the direct system user to pay for future improvements in the EMS system, taking this burden off of the City's general fund. It is also a competitive, fair and equitable user fee. I am looking forward to discussing this issue with you at the September 7 Council meeting and moving forward with this ambulance billing system effective October 1, 1994. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly. I wish to thank Fire Chief David Burnett and Finance Director Charles Brown for their research and simplification of this complex system. I am sure it will be a workable one in the best long-term interests of continuing to provide the highest quality services to system users. cc: Charles Brown David Burnett C:\WP51\TJM\AMBULANC.MEM CITY OF KENAI Od 0-,� 44" 11 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 byttyl 1III�1 1992 MEMORANDUM TO: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director DATE: August 18, 1994 SUBJECT: Ambulance Billing Attached are two documents: (1) Billing Rates for Kenai Fire Department - E.M.S. Services, and (2) the E.M.S. Billing Source Document. This memo provides additional information. As you read this memo, please keep the following concept in mind: SIMPLICITY. If this isn't simple, it won't work. We are trying to do this with existing personnel. The rates, content of the source document, and billing procedures have been agreed to by the Fire Chief and me. We request that you: 1) Sign the Billing Rate document. 2) Submit this entire package to Council in the September 7, 1994 Council packet. I. The City has enrolled with Medicare and Medicaid. I enrolled with Medicare as a participating supplier, accepting assignment. This means that we accept the Medicare determined charge as the full charge. We can only bill Medicare patients for the deductible and co-insurance. We must write-off any excess. II. I will write a complete set of programs to bill, record receipts, and maintain the accounts receivable of the E.M.S. billings. The Finance Department will bill all accounts. Non -Medicare and non -Medicaid bills will be mailed by us to the patients. Medicare and Medicaid accounts will be forwarded to a subcontractor who has experience and contracts with those agencies to process the filings electronically. They will do this for $7 per filing. This will save us time and supply costs. This is just 2% of a BLS billing and just 1% of an ALS billing. We simply don't have the personnel or Memorandum Thomas J. Manninen August 18, 1994 Page Two equipment to bill Medicare and Medicaid less expensively. All payments will be made directly to the City. Therefore, I'll need about $750 in professional services to pay the subcontractor for the balance of this fiscal year. I assume that you will approve a transfer from contingency. III. The Finance Department will input data from the E.M.S. Billing Source Document, completed by the Fire Department, to begin the receivable process. The Fire Department must ensure completeness and accuracy of the source document. IV. Understanding that there will be difficulties in collections, we need broad authority to enter into payment plans, adjust accounts for Medicare or Medicaid ineligible charges, and determine uncollectible accounts. Penalty and interest will only serve to complicate (remember the simplicity concept) these efforts. Medicare and Medicaid won't pay penalty or interest. Other people may have to wait for private insurance to pay them before they can pay us. I'd like the ability to accommodate a wide variety of payment schemes. We don't want this to be a P.R. problem. Penalty (10%) would be charged only in extreme cases, such as refusal to acknowledge the debt or refusal to cooperate in any payment method at all. V. You may have noticed that we dropped the idea of medication and supply charges originally proposed by the Fire Department. This was too complex. There were about 50 individual charges, each of which could change periodically. Instead, we opted for simplicity and increased the BLS base rate by $25 and the ALS base rate by $50. This will work better for the Fire Department and the Finance Department (and, Medicare prefers it). VI. Also note that the non-resident rate is still double that of the resident rate. I'm a tad skeptical of this; it will probably cause collection problems (I know Medicare won't pay it). The rationale is that, even after the $150,000 or so that we might collect in fees each year, most of the Fire Department/E.M.S. is financed with tax dollars. VII. The Fire Chief wants 20% of collections to be designated for E.M.S. equipment replacement, up to $250,000. Memorandum Thomas J. Manninen August 18, 1994 Page Three This doesn't need to be approved by an ordinance. Designations of fund balance are tentative management plans for financial resource utilization in a future period (codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, 1800.125). Council consent will be given by their review of the billing rates; I included the dedication provision there. My personal view is that I'm not enthused about another designation of fund balance for a single department's use. But, I admit, there is no reasonable accounting or financial reason to object to it. I guess I'm neutral. That wraps up our proposal. Now, for some advice. This billing plan just might be more controversial than we think. Technically, according to KMC 7.15.100, the rates are set by you; Council is simply advised and given the opportunity to object. Given the scope of this, that seems extreme. I suggest you consider placing this on the agenda as a public hearing. A little advertising might not hurt (if so, the Fire Department should do this). Some people have been using the ambulance service as free transportation. That's going to stop. Surprises won't be welcome. cc: Cary Graves Dave Burnett Billing Rates for Kenai Fire Department - E.M.S. Services E.M.S.

Box 101020 FINANCE CORPORATION Anchorage, AK 99510-1020 August 31, 1994 JOHN J. WILLIAMS, MAYOR S E P CITY OF KENAI� 210 FIDALGO STREET, STE 2 / KENAI, AK 99611 Dear Mayor Williams: On Augu�t 4, 1994, AHFC issued an Request For Proposals (RFP) under the Senior Citizens Housing Development Program (SHDP). In response to the RFP, AHFC received the following questions prior to the deadline which was established for submission of questions. As indicated in the RFP, the questions and responses are being .provided to all persons who requested an application kit. Question # 1: In reference to page 3: AS 35.10.160 - 35.10.200, will these statutes allow for a contracted bid price? Response: The RFP which was issued by AHFC indicated that grant recipient's would be required to develop the subject project in accordance with facility procurement policies developed by the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT) under AS 35.10.160 - 35.10.200. These 'statutes, among other things, requires competitive bidding for labor, materials, and contractual services. AS 35.10.195 states that the policies established by DOT must conform to the requirements of AS 36.30 (State Procurement Code). AS 36.30.850 of the State Procurement Code exempts grants from the requirements of AS 36.30. Therefore, after further review of state statutes, regulations and policies regarding procurement requirements, it has been determined that grant recipients will not be required to meet State procurement. policy as part of the grant agreement. SHDP grant recipients will be able to solicit and negotiate contract prices for labor, materials, and contractual services. Please note however, that the requirements of any other project funding sources may still need to be considered by the applicant. projects in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and all other urban areas would potentially be eligible for "rural" preference points, as they may attract a limited number of rural residents as well. Question #6: Page 2 of Application, "Proposed Budget for SHDP Funds" section: I am not clear if you want the budget for the dollar amount that we are applying for in this grant application of the total funding sources that will include the loans that (name of applicant) has already applied for? Response: The "Proposed Budget for SHDP Funds" section should identify only those costs which will be funded with SHDP grant funds. Question #7: Page 2 of Application, "Funding Source and Amount" section: Under funding source and amount line item SHDP do I include the $(dollar amount omitted) that has been applied for and give you a total of loan funds applied for or do you want just the amount of the grant applied for? Response: The "Funding Source and Amount" section should include all sources of project funding which is proposed. Evidence as to the commitment by, or application for, the funding sources identified should be provided. Individual line items within this section, i.e., SHDP, other State, Federal, etc., should be used to identify the amount to be received from these specific sources. The amount specified in the SHDP line item should represent the amount of grant funds which you are applying for under this RFP. Questions #8: In the line item (section) "Proposed Budget for SHDP Funds", again do I need to break down the use of the grant I am applying for or the total funds we hope to receive through the loans and the tax credits? Response: As specified within the response to question #6 above, the "Proposed Budget for SHDP Funds" section should identify only those costs which will be funded with SHDP grant funds. Question #9: In your RFP a preference for points is allowed for those applications residing in what you have considered a rural area, that is those applicants that reside in an area with less population that 5500 persons. If this preference is allowed does that mean that those of us in Anchorage are not allowed to accept (resident) applications from rural areas? Response: A project in a non -rural (urban) area is not limited to soliciting and/or renting to persons only in an urban area. Therefore, there is no restriction on your ability to rent 3 Response: No federal funds are involved with the SHDP. In addition, the activities under the SHDP do not fall within the State's "mini" Davis Bacon act. Therefore, projects will not be required to comply with Davis Bacon requirements. Question #3: Are the points referred to at the top of page 8 regarding "Percentage of Leveraging" the SHDP funds or the total project costs, or is one to complete the formula on the bottom of page 7 to learn the % =SHDP funds and subtract from 100 % to determine points? Response: The percentage of leveraging stated on the top of page 8 represents the degree of funds to be received by the applicant from non-SHDP sources. Therefore, if SHDP funds requested equal 25 % of total project funding, the difference (75 % in this case) should be used to determine the points which should be awarded based on the schedule at the top of page 8 of the application instructions. Question #4: When can an applicant expect to receive notification of intent to award? Response: It is anticipated that application review, rating, and ranking will be completed within approximately 30 days after the application deadline. Applicants should receive a notice of intent to award shortly thereafter. Questions #5: Why is the service area that the housing will be used for not considered in the rural preference scheme? Response: The situation posed in the above question relates to properties physically located within a non -rural area, but which may attract tenants from outside their immediate geographic area, perhaps from areas defined as rural. However, when developing a project in an urban area, one can not be absolutely sure that rural residents will occupy the project. Further, it is not felt to be appropriate to award points to a project in an urban area which perhaps had only a few, perhaps as few as one, rural resident, as compared to a project physically located in a rural area which in all likelihood would be primarily occupied by tenants within that immediate geographic rural area. Rural areas experience many development difficulties not generally experienced by urban areas, i.e., materials availability and shipping limitations, labor considerations, feasibility of smaller, and generally, less cost efficient facilities, etc. Each, if not all, of these factors contribute to greater development complexity, and most often, higher development costs. Additionally, rural areas have been identified within the State's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy as having special and specific needs that have historically been unmet as a result of factors such as those identified above. As a result, rural preference is justified and must be limited only to those projects physically located within areas that meet the rural definition. Finally, it is important to note that, if AHFC accepted the rationale proposed by the individual posing the question above, P 4 19 9 1 l< ASSESSMEW ROLLIr 11.

However, as identified in the response to question #5, points will only be awarded to projects which are physically located in an area defined as rural. Note: A "Rural Area" is defined as "a community with a population of 5,500 or less that is not connected by road or rail to Anchorage or Fairbanks, or a population of 1,400 or less that is connected by road or rail to Anchorage or Fairbanks", In this definition, "connected by road" does not include a connection by the Alaska Marine Highway System. Question #10: On page 3, this is not clear to me, will our corporation be able to select the contractor of our choice and must we use Davis Bacon wages? Response: Refer to the responses provided in questions #1 and #2. As a reminder, for consideration of funding, proposals must be received by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation no later that 5:00 p.m. ADT on Monday, September 19, 1994. Proposals received after the deadline or delivered to an incorrect AHFC location before the deadline WILL NOT be considered. Telefax applications WILL NOT be accepted.

The guide rails that the pumps ride on end at this platform. We need these guide rails to extend to the top of the manhole. The new OSHA regulations for confined spaces requires a tremendous amount of time, equipment, money, and work to enter the lift station and to stand on the platform to pull the pumps. With the rail extensions we will not have to enter the lift stations to pull the pumps. Extending the guide rails will be safer and save the city time, effort, and money. The installation of the new telemetry system also requires moving the ladder in Lift Station No. 3.

According to the design engineer and inspector the as -built drawings for this old storm drain showed the storm drain line 1.3' higher than it actually was. The inspector did have the contractor install styrofoam insulation between the storm drain and the new water main. The water main could not be lowered at the time of installation because the contractor did not have the parts. It would have been far more expensive to stop the contractor and wait, than to go back and lower it later. There is a possibility of this main line freezing if it is left as it is now. I do not think we should take the chance and leave the line as it is now installed. If the line was to freeze, many people would be out of water until it was fixed. The area that would freeze is in the street so it would be plowed clear of snow, thus allowing deeper frost penetration making winter repairs more difficult. The ground would have to be thawed before we could even dig. The contractor gave us a cost estimate of $5,155.00, which the inspector feels is high. He thinks we should direct the contractor to do the work on a force account basis which is basically a cost plus method. "Public Works recommends Council a rove Change Order No. 4 on the Thom son Park Water & Sewer project for lowering the water main on Fireweed where it crosses the storm dram and aav the contractor for the work on a force account basis."

Oper- ated by NCL since 1949 and sponsored since 1989 by The Allstate Foundation, the All -America City Award Program annually recognizes ten communities for outstanding grass -roots action and collaboration among the public, private and nonprofit sectors in identifying and solving critical issues. Ranging in population from 4,065 (Taos. N.M.) to 1,585.577 (Philadelphia. Penn.), the 1994 All -America Cities successfully confronted such problems as youth violence, affordable housing and access to health care. The 1994 All - America Cities are: Porterville, California .olumbus, Indiana Alexandria, Louisiana Kansas City, Missouri Mount Airy, North Carolina Taos, New Mexico Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Plano, Texas Yakima, Washington Powell, Wyoming See pages two and three of this issue of Cii,ic Action for summaries of the achievements for which the 1994 All - America Cities were recognized. Benefits of the All -America City designation include an enhanced regional and national image and economic development opportunities due to recruitment of new businesses and residents. Evidence of "Renewal' "These ten communities have bucked the trends of defeatism and negativity that paralyze so many cities and towns today," said NCL Chairman John Gardner. "These stunning suc- cesses of men and women working at the gr­-roots level to solve national p. -ms ranging from education and health care to violence and racism are palpable evidence of the burgeoning movement to renew America." Gardner added. The ten honorees were selected from among 30 finalist communities named in April. The final selection process, which consists of two days of jury hearings before a 12-member panel of distin- guished public affairs experts, took place this year in Oakland, a 1993 All -America City. A total of 140 communities applied for the All -America City Award in 1994, representing 40 states and a combined population of over 17 million. "Remarkable Achievements" The awards were announced and presented by William F. Quinn. former governor of Hawaii and foreman of the All -America City Jury since 1983. "Both the ten winners and the 20 Finalists merit our respect." Quinn said. "Their achieve- ments are all the more remarkable given the broad pool from which they were selected."

Alexandria has a long, tradition of civic mobilization, having attracted the route of an Interstate highway. built cultural and recreational facilities and managed economic transition. When Alexandrians learned of the inevitable closure of England Air Force Base, it faced loss of an annual economic impact of S 127 million. To smooth the transition, the city government, in cooperation with other local and state authorities, members of the state's congres- sional delegation. Louisiana State Universitv, business advocates, and citizens, established the "England Economic and Industrial Transition Authority," which has contributed to a stable economic climate, with employment and real estate values surpassing their levels prior to base closure. In 1992. absentee landlords, rising crime rates and Louisiana's troubled economy were contributing to the decline of one of Alexandria's most historic neighborhoods. A combination of clean-up, tree - planting, crime -prevention, and code -compliance programs has since upgraded the appearance of the Bolton Avenue Neighborhood. as well as the morale and security of its residents. A Brass -roots. ecumenical umbrella organization supported by Christian and Jewish congregations. Shepherd Ministries.

Ta, uniquely tri-ethnic in character. with Native - American, Latino and Anelo hentaee. Built on an economic foundation of mining and logging, the community since World War II has become known as a ski resort and artist community. Despite its tourist appeal and polished image, Taos faces serious issues of poverty and industrial diversity. Acknowledging these impediments to progress, city, county, community -based, private. and nonprofit service organizations came together to formulate a five-year plan for economic development and upgrading local services and amenities. Five years later, a new regional hospital and business park are under construction and the University of New Mexico is planning a Taos campus. Having identified the need to expand and broaden its employment base, the Taos community, with assistance from public agencies and citizen volunteers, converted an abandoned supermarket building into a business incubator, which has generated 28 new businesses and over 200 jobs. Building on the success of this venture. local agencies and groups joined with three banks and the state university to plan and build a 30.000 square - foot light manufacturing/business park incorporating traditional architecture, a day care center and retail space. With $2.3 million in funding secured, the facility is under construction and scheduled to open later this year.

ML -..r AIRY, NORTH CAROLINA (Pop. 7,157) Nestled at the foot of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Mount Airy has a disproportionately large number of working poor residents, employed in an economy based on textile and furniture manufacturing. While essentially rural, however. Mount Airy has not escaped "urban style" problems. Concerned that low-income vouch were too easily lured into the culture of drugs and violence. a local educator recruited ten community organizations to help implement an ongoing project to divert at-nsk youth from drugs through legitimate activity, while offering educational. recreational and cultural enrichment programs for Mount Airy residents of all ages. Realizing that significant numbers of Mount Airy residents were unable to afford health care and that federally mandated universal health coverage could be years away, a retired hospital administrator and two physicians decided to found a free medical clinic. Opened in October of 1993. the Sum Medical Ministries Clinic serves an average of 20 patients a week. relying on cash donations, grants and volunteers from the community. Responding to a downtown exodus prompted by the arrival of strip malls and large discount retailers. a coalition of arts and historic preservation groups founded the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History. a visitors center and a downtown crafts market. while renovating a historic movie theater.

Philadelphia today is experiencing strong resurgence in economic development. delivery of public services and civic and neighborhood pride. Acknowledging that diversity is a national asset, numerous community organizations. corporations. schools, unions, and civic, church and government leaders launched the "Make Unity Work" campaign. which encourages citizens of the Philadelphia region to speak out against bigotry in all its forms. The project fosters opportunities for honest dialoeue on issues of race, class and ethnicity while infusing public policy making with a human and civil rights component. In 1989. public and corporate concern over the quality of public education in Philadelphia — combined with the under -representation of low- income and minority students in local colleges and universities — led to the founding of Philadelphia Futures, which has mobilized the resources of individuals, businesses, hospitals, and institutions of higher education to provide mentors and role models for at -risk students while raising over S 1.4 million for scholarships and financial aid. Begun in 1991, the Central City District (CCD) is a private sector organization committed to strengthening downtown Philadelphia's competitive position in the region by supplementing municipal services. By proactively addressing public safety issues with residents. business owners and visitors. CCD has helped reduce crime in its service area by 18 percent in the past three years.

WASHINGTON (Pop. 59.610) One of the largest -producing agricultural communities in the United States. Yakima serves as a retail and services hub for central Washington. But the seasonal nature of farming — and related cyclic unemployment and large migrant population — have spawned serious challenges for Yakima. Distressed by escalating youth lawlessness and gang membership, the school district, police department. service clubs, and community -based groups founded the the Yakima Gang Prevention -Intervention Coalition (GPIC). Conceived as part of a citizen - based strategic planning effort. GPIC delivers recreational and life -skills training services to school -age youth. Yakima's Housing Foundation was incorporated in 1991 as a network of housing providers to alleviate the struggles encountered by the community's low-income families in finding decent, affordable housine. The single largest minority group in Yakima, Hispanics constitute 25 percent of the local population, but 80 percent of the minority school -age population. To raise high school graduation rates among this large segment of the community, educators and local leaders formed the Hispanic Academic Achievers Program (HARP), which emphasizes the importance and value of education to both students and parents. The result has been markedly improved performance amone Latino students, as measured by grade point average. Contact: Gary Webster, Greater Yakima Chamber of Commerce, P.O.

Powell long prided itself as the place "Where Oil and Water Mix." When oil prices plummeted during the 1980s. however, the need for industrial diversification became painfully apparent. To recruit new employers. the broadly based. chamber -sponsored Powell Valley Economic Development Alliance activated an aggressive marketing program that has succeeded in attracting five non -retail businesses, including the computer services unit of a national bond -rating agency. To involve Powell's youth in community -wide decision making while nurturing leadership among young people. students, civic leaders, school officials, business people, and others founded T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Accomplishes More). Thus far, T.E.A.M. has identified several means by which the Powell community can collaboratively aid the development of a healthy and engaged population of young citizens. In response to an exodus of businesses, declining property values and generally inadequate street and drainage infrastructure. the Citv of Powell — alone with business and citizen _roups — planned and implemented a downtown improvement effort that Wyoming's governor has pronounced a "model" project.

From the NCL Bookshelf... Healthy Communities Reference Guides Now Available The National Civic League Press recently released two new publications designed to assist individuals and organizations engaged in community - based health promotion. The Nealthv Communities Directory updates and expands previous editions, featuring listings of twice as many communities that have joined the burgeoning Healthy Communities movement. The all -new Healthy Communities Resource Guide contains descriptive entries on hundreds of organizations that supply information and/or technical assistance in nearly 30 areas, ranging from arts and culture and economic development to personal investing and disease prevention. Products of U.S. Healthy Communities Initiative In 1986. the World Health Organiza- tion (WHO) initiated the Healthy Cities Project in Europe. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Civic League followed suit in 1989. launching the United States Healthy Communities Initiative (then called the National Healthy Communities Initiative). Though similar to the WHO effort in values, the very name of the U.S. project recognizes that it is through community partnerships that cross sectors and jurisdictional boundaries — not government action alone — that sustain- able change takes place. Since 1989. in communities every- where, under titles and banners of many stripes. people have designed innovative initiatives and are cultivating extensive networks to embrace a broader definition of health while developing an enhanced sense of shared responsibility for community health and well-being. The new publications are based on NCL's experience in this field. Two Key Principles The Healthy Communities movement is based on two key principles. The first is a definition of health that extends beyond traditional health issues to consider the underlying factors that produce individual and community health. These factors in- clude disease prevention, health promotion and education, but also a clean and safe living environment, adequate housing. af- fordable andquality education, community revitalization. and provision of basic human needs. A second principle of Healthy Communities is the important role of broadly based community ownership in creating positive change. Increasingly. community leaders are recognizing that solving community problems requires far more than launching a project, forming an ad hoc task force, or applying for a federal grant. Specifically, sustainable change requires the active involvement of actual community members in substan- tive decision making and program implementation. Copies of the Healthy Communities Director v or Resource Guide are avail- able for $20 each (prepaid orders please) from the National Civic League, 1445 Market St., Ste. 300, Denver, CO 80202- 1728. A Guide to Pulling Together The Program for Community Problem Solving (PCPS) and the Urban Land Institute, in a combined effort, have just published a new guidebook, Pulling Together: A Land Use and Development Consensus Building Manual. The purpose of the publication is to help community leaders avoid time-consum- ing, costly, and unproductive disputes over planning and development. It provides straightforward, effective tools and techniques for working through conflicts between developers, citizens, government, and other interests. A Washington, D.C.-based division of the National Civic League, PCPS delivers technical assistance and produces guides and manuals to assist communities in solving problems and complying with na- tional legislation by collaborative means. Providing a guiding hand. Pulling Together offers clear techniques for analyzing potential development and land -use conflicts and developing a game plan. The interactive tools and tech- niques described will help planners, elected officials, city managers, and neighborhood and community leaders all relevant parties to participate, build consensus -based process step-by-step, and make each meeting work. The techniques presented are illustrated with an entire section devoted to real -life case studies.

BOX 1068 NOME, ALASKA 99762-1068 PHONE: (907) 443-5457 FAX- (907) 443-2409 The Department of Community and Regional Affairs is charged by statute with determining the July 1, 1994, population of each municipality for FY 96 State Revenue Sharing and Municipal Assistance Program purposes. The population of the City of Kenai has been determined to be 6,813. If you do not agree with this figure, you may request an adjustment. A written request for a population adjustment, including supporting documentation, must be postmarked no later than November 1, 1994. The request must be supported by a method of population determination approved by this department. For municipalities with populations of less than 1,000, the department requires that a "head count" census be used. Municipalities with 1,000 or more residents may use a "head count census" or the "housing unit" method which includes specific statistical measures. The department also requires that a municipality's population determination methods be fully documented and that the governing body of the municipality pass a resolution adopting the results of the census. If you choose to request an adjustment, the enclosed booklet provides additional information on population procedures and the "housing unit" method of population determination. Those cities planning on conducting a population estimate using the "housing unit" method are strongly encouraged to contact Laura Walters before beginning any population surveys. Ms. Walters is responsible for validating acceptable statistical approaches. Should you have any questions regarding this population determination, please call Laura Walters, Research Analyst, or Bill Rolfzen, State Revenue Sharing Program Administrator, at 465-4750.

The City commends DOTIPF for the forethought of planning and placing the following projects on their priority one list: Kenai - Forest Drive/Redoubt Ave Urban Construction Kenai - Fort Kenay: Mission Street Improvements Kenai - Spur Road: MP 0-2.8 Rehabilitation Kenai - Spur Road: MP 8.1 -10.7 Rehabilitation The DOT/PF has pointed out that HCS CSSB 363(FIN) Sec 10 merely allocates $3,000,000 to the Kenai -Forest Drive/Redoubt Drive Drainage Improvements Reconstruction. and Resurfacing (ED9). It authorizes DOT/PF to receive and spend federal funds. The City of Kenai assumed that preliminary engineering for this project would start relatively soon. Unfortunately, the STIP Draft does not show preliminary engineering starting until FFY97 at $181,900. The $3 million dollars cost estimate for this project was based on construction dollars in 1995. It also mistakenly shows only $2,001,300 for Total Federal Cost to complete. As previously mentioned, and affirmed in the attached resolution number 94-41, the City of Kenai will take over the maintenance of Forest Drive/Redoubt after it is properly upgraded. The Kenai -Fort Kenai: Mission Street Improvements on the STIP draft is correct in that only the utility relocates and construction remain. The City of Kenai has a consultant performing the design engineering. Final design will be completed this winter. We have been working with Jim Childers, DOT/PF, and are planning construction in FFY95 not the FFY96 listed in the STIP draft. The City of Kenai is anxious to see these projects completed. If there is anything I can do to help expedite these projects please contact me.

WHEREAS, North Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue, previously called Homesite Loop, are poorly constructed rural strip paved roads, and WHEREAS, the existing North Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue roads exhibit severe frost heaving, poor drainage systems, and heavily damaged and hazardous bike/pedestrian paths, and WHEREAS, the City of Kenai thinks that Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue need the following improvements to be properly upgraded: 1. All the frost susceptible material from the road and bike/pedestrian path subbases need to be excavated. 2. The existing rural ditch and culvert drainage system need to be replaced with an underground storm drainage system. 3. The roads need to be repaved to two 12 foot wide driving lanes with paved shoulders for parking. 4. Curbs and gutters need to be constructed along the roads which tie into the storm drain system. 5. The existing bike/pedestrian path needs to be replaced with a bike/pedestrian concrete or paved sidewalk along one (or both) sides of North Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue. 6. The street light at each intersection needs to be reinstalled, and WHEREAS, the City of Kenai agrees with the State that the roadways should be built to the current State of Alaska and Federal Highway engineering standards, and WHEREAS, North Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue are presently state maintained roadways. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that the City of Kenai reconfirms its commitment to take over the ownership, maintenance, and operation of North Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue loop, after the State of Alaska properly upgrades these roads, the drainage system, and the bike/pedestrian paths to acceptable engineering standards mutually agreed to by DOT/PF and the City of Kenai.

The Contractor anticipates being completed with the water/sewer this week and substantially completed with the road work around the middle of September. As of the 26th of August, all the water main had been installed and only the sewer main for Lupine needed installation. The Contractor is at approximately 90% complete. The total construction costs will be approximately $1,537,500. We anticipate that the work will be completed approximately $30,000 under the original contract amount, and probably $5,000 to $8,000 under the total Change Order amount. The Change Order amount will be reduced because we will not require as much 18" CMP as anticipated for driveway culvert repair. We expect contract administration fees will be at least $35,000 less than what is budgeted. These totals are subject to some guess work and they will vary. The Contractor has not mentioned the gas main issue to me since before the last status report. This is probably not a dead issue and a claim is still a possibility. If you have any questions regarding the status of the project, please give me a call.

The U.S. Department of Interior issued the proposed rules as part of an effort to settle long-standing confusion over the existence and management of many rural Western "highways" across public lands. If adopted, the regulations would establish a process for three Interior agencies, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Ser- vice and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to verify highway rights -of -way claimed by state and local governments under a now -repealed 1866 law (Re- vised Statute 2477). Originally designed to encourage people to move West by allowing them access through public land, the RS- 2477 rights -of -way law was repealed in 1976, but under a grandfather provi- sion roadways created before then can still be developed. Because no docu- mentation was required to legally cre- .ie a roadway, the federal government has no idea how many there are, and both state and federal public land man- agers have disputed which rights -of - The U.S. Interior Department has unveiled a proposed rule by which it will recognize public access routes. Under the Proposed Rule, many of Alaska's remote historic trails and access corridors may not be recognized as public rights -of -way. Alaskans fear the federal government's latest attempt to clarify access laws in the West could obstruct access to villages, private property, mining claims and other locations. Extension requested on public comments for Proposed Rule The U.S. Department of the Interior has opened a 60-day public comment period on the new regulations dealing with RS-2477 rights -of -way in Alaska and the Lower 48. The proposed regulations appeared in the Federal Register August 1. Comments will be accepted through September 30. Governor Wally Hickel has asked Interior Secretary Bruce Babbittto extend the public comment period by 90 days. The Governor noted that the comment (Continued to page 4) (Continued to page 4) RDC watching and working on AN I LCA Title XI access issue 1980: Alaska National Interest Land Claims Act (ANILCA) passed.

Page 2 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1994 This summer RDC's Executive Committee invited the leading Guber- natorial candidates to attend a series of informal issue discussions with our statewide board of directors. RDC is a non -partisan organization, but the na- ture of our issues require the staff and individual members to be politically in- volved and informed. It was in the spirit of communication and education that these discussions took place. Republican candidates Jim Campbell and Tom Fink each briefed the group separately, as did Demo- cratic candidates Sam Cotten, Steve McAlpine and Tony Knowles. It was rewarding to the group to note how long all of the candidates have been in- volved with RDC in various capacities. Each individual candidate stressed eir involvement with resource issues over the years and their commitment to strengthening sound resource policies. Tax issues and ideas for new revenue from enhanced resource development were also explored. The state's budget situation was mentioned by all of the candidates, only the method for diagnosing which state expenditures should be cut dif- fered. All of the candidates stressed Candidates brief RDC Be an informed voter The state's budget situation was mentioned by all of the candidates, only the method for diagnosing which state expenditures should be cut differed.

On August 1,1993, after substantially limiting access under a RS2477 directive (see related story this issue), Department of Interior officials again underscored the importance of Title XI of ANILCA in the future of access decisions. As you can see, Alaska has a great deal riding on the outcome of the Title XI access regulations revisions. While •e are all waiting, I hope you will con- _.nue to support RDC and its affiliate PLF in this worthy and precedent -set- ting pursuit which is of the greatest significance to the future of access in Alaska. Just to give you a taste of the litiga- tion, here are some points from PLF's arguments against Trustees: 1. The regulations are consistent with ANILCA, namely, Congress in- tended that there be reasonable and feasible access across Federal Con- servation System Unit Lands in Alaska. 2. Congress intended for ANILCA to provide practical procedures for the cre- ation of transportation utility systems. 3. The regulations' grant of access to Inholdings conforms to the statute. Specifically, ANILCA permits Ril2elines value-added resource projects as op- portunities to be explored, and most of the candidates supported continuing at least one of the state/federal lawsuits underway -- particularly the case in- volving the ANS oil export ban. Overall, the discussions were open and honest. Each of the candidates offered a unique glimpse of themselves by being opened to a wide variety of very difficult questions. Particularly since RDC does not endorse candidates. the board certainly appreciates the time given by the can- didates before the August 23 primary to educate us on issues of common inter- est. - I encourage all members of RDC to follow the 1994 elections and attend candidate forums to learn where our next governor stands on the issues. Vote from an informed perspective. nd transmission line access to inholdings; the government is not re- quired to perform validity examinations of mining claims before allowing access and inholdings created after the enact- ment of ANILCA.e.g. land exchanges are included in its protections. 4. The special access grovisions of AN I LCA were properly construed. Spe- cifically, there is no statutory reQire- ment to unduly restrict airplane and motorboat access, there is no pre-ex- isting use test for special access, and helicopter and off -road vehicle use is permitted by ANILCA. August 1994 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 3 RS-2477 rule holds key to Alaska access (Continued from page 1) way are valid. The issue is big in Alaskawhere RS- 2477 rights -of -way have historically been used throughout the state for travel be- tween villages and to access mining claims, private property and hunting and fishing grounds. Although representing only one component of the access equa- tion, RS-2477 rights -of -way are consid- ered the most secure and feasible form of access across federal areas. "It doesn't intend, in any way, to take away access rights," said Deborah Williams, Alaska Assistant to Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. "The impor- tant thing to remember is that this is a proposed rule and the language could change." Williams also said that Title 11 of ANILCA will allow new access to public lands if it is denied through the RS- 2477 process. But Alaska land managers note that Title 11 has not worked in reality and that RS-2477 must be preserved along with every available mechanism for providing rights -of -way, transportation and utility sys- tem condors across the state. The Proposed Rule would move the official procedure for granting a right- of-way from the judicial arena to the administrative realm. Claimants, such as state and local governments, would have two years to submit evidence to a federal land manager for recognition. Definitions used to determine valid rights -of -way are expected to be the sharpest points of contention with the new rule. These definitions narrow past policy by requiring "highways" to "be a public thoroughfare used for the pas- sage of vehicles to carrying people or goods from place to place." In the Proposed Rule, the definition of "construction" would be defined to require evidence of "an intentional physi- cal act" to prepare "a durable, observ- able physical modification of land for use by highway traffic." A 1988 policy would have adopted mere use or pas- sage as sufficient to "construct" a "high- way." The proposed regulation would supersede the previous policy. Senator Frank Murkowski said the Feds' taking public comments on new rights -of -way rules (Continued from page 1) period coincideswith the mostactivepartofthe late summerandearlyfallforAlaskans. Steve Borell, Executive Director of the Alaska Miners Association, also urged Interior to extend the comment period. "It has taken 128 years to write these regulations and now we have only 60 days to comment," Borell said. "The very people most affected by these rules are out in the field right now trying to make a living." RS-2477 provides the only feasible access to many areas of the state, including native land holdings and state lands.

'When Alaskans used the state's his- toric trails for access, they did so by foot or pack animal. They did not pave trails be- cause that would have made no sense in a land of permafrost," said Murkowski. "We've got a bunch of city slickers trying to figure out what a highway is in the West." said Dan Kish, a spokesman for Rep. Don Young. "If we don't have street lights and a gravel base, then somehow we don't have a highway, according to them." In a recent decision, the Ninth Cir- cuit Court determined that in Alaska's remote frontier areas undeveloped dog sled trails, foot paths and horse trails qualify as valid rights -of -way under RS- 2477. The Court said the historic routes qualify as a public thoroughfare as long as the record was clear that public travel routinely occurred between two points over open public land. Furthermore, recognizing Alaska's extreme climate and rugged terrain, the Court ruled that it is not necessary for an exact path to have been traveled year-round. The Court said that unlike other states, RS-2477 highways in Alaska are often no more than trails that move from season to season. It said that in Alaska a right-of-way could be established along different routes as long as the points on either end re- mained fixed. This decision clarified the use of winter trails, which vary from summer trails accessing the same des- tination. Under the newly -proposed DOI rules, however, an RS-2477 highway must have had visible, durable con- struction or modification and have been used for the passage of vehicles carry- ing people orgoods. Underthis interpre- tation, historic dog sled trails, mule train routes or footpaths would not qualify. The Interior Department says the recent Court decision is not consistent with Congressional intent or practice under the statute. It is seeking a rehear- ing of the Court's decision and has pledged to take any final decision into account when issuing a final rule. The State fears that if Interior pre- vails, access corridors would be lost across federal lands. isolating vast ar- eas of state, private and Native corpo- ration lands. The State administration and Alaska's congressional delegation opposes the proposed rule. The Proposed Rule not only affects Alaska but many roads across the West. "We have thousands of road across rural Utah that are used by the public every day and according to these regulations many of those roads will be shut down,"said Rep. James V. Hansen, R-UT. Page 4 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1994 Mining Law reform heats up in Washington ,Ithough a U.S. Senate -House C(,..,erence Committee has met only once this summer to hash out a federal Mining Law reform package, backstage activity is furious and committee chair- man Senator Bennett Johnston (D-LA) has made it clear he wants the bill out before the end of August. The future of the mining industry in Alaska and across the Western U.S. is on the line as the conference commit- tee considers House and Senate legis- lation that would drastically affect min- ing on public lands, according to Steve Boreal, Executive Director of the Alaska Miners Association. Borell said Alaskans must encour- age Johnston to move closer to the Senate conference position, S. 775, a bipartisan compromise bill sponsored by Senators Larry Craig (R-ID) and Harry Reid (D-NV). In addition, he urges Alaskans to contact any senators they know outside Alaska and ask them to support the major components of the C j bill. The senators should also be asked to support a filibuster, if neces- sary. "We need all the help we can get on a filibuster because it looks like its head- ing that direction," Borell said. Mining supporters in the House are greatly outnumbered and were unable to prevent H.R. 322 from becoming the conference vehicle of the House. Spon- sored by Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV), H.R. 322 is supported by environmen- tal activists and the Clinton Administra- tion. Miners say the bill is a nightmare for the industry, warning that if it or something similar becomes law, future exploration will shut down and thou- sands of jobs across the West will be lost. H.R.. 322, they warn, will force American mining companies to go over- seas and leave America dependent on foreign countries for resources that are plentiful here. In the Senate, support has been split between the Craig bill and a Rahall- t) bill sponsored by Senator Dale BL,.ipers. The Craig bill emerged as the Senate vehicle in the conference committee, but Chairman Johnston kicked off the conference with a (Continued to Page 6) Chairman's Mark • 2 percent gross royalty with an escalating scale for gold and copper up to 33 percent • Patents issued to mineral estate only, subject to a graduated royalty.

August 1994 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 RDC comments on Proposed Rule for controlling tanker vapor emissions The Resource Development Coun- cil has urged the Environmental Pro- tection Agency to regulate the Valdez Marine Terminal separately from other terminals. In extensive comments on a newly -proposed rule for controlling emissions from oil tanker loading op- erations, RDC also supported a pro- posal by Alyeska Pipeline Service Com- pany to install vapor emissions controls on two berths and to implement feder- ally -enforceable operational limitations on a third berth which would have only temporary use due to declining throughput. Factors such as the Valdez terminal's enormous size, its remote location, extreme climate, the complex- ity of controlling crude oil vapors, de- clining throughput and other aspects warrant treatment of the Valdez termi- nal as a separate subcategory, RDC said. Valdez is the site of the largest marine terminal in the United States, and it loads crude oil exclusively. By placing the Valdez terminal in a sepa- rate subcategory, the EPA would be in a position to establish a Maximum Avail- able Control Technology standard that takes all these factors into account. In addition. RDC pointed out that a three-year compliance timeframe. which would apply under Title III of the Pro- posed Rule, is more appropriate for the Valdez terminal than the two-year timeline allowed under Title I because of the size of the terminal and corre- sponding extent of work required, and due to the short construction season in Alaska. The Valdez terminal is 15 times larger than the next largest in the U.S. Regarding vapor controls on termi- nal berths, RDC noted that vessel load- ing at most terminals is reasonably con- sistent from year to year, but with North Slope oil production in steady decline, loading at Valdez has been declining since 1988. Alyeska is currently load- ing vessels at four berths, but by 1997 the company anticipates it will only be using three berths for vessel loading, and one of those berths will only be used on a limited basis. The Environmental Protection Agency is considering new rules for controlling vapor emissions from oil tankerloading operations. Because of declining throughput, the third berth is projected to be needed foronly limited routine loading until2001. After that, Alyeska proposes to use the third berth only during maintenance or other short-term shutdowns of the other two berths. The ability to use the third berth while the others are down is nec- essary to provide operational flexibility. The vapor control process at Valdez will be the most expensive one ever installed anywhere. According to Alyeska, the capital expense to install controls at two berths is $92 million. The additional cost to install controls to a third berth is $28 million in capital expense alone. Because 90 percent of throughput will be loaded from the two controlled berths when averaged over the remaining life of the terminal, it would cost considerably more on a per megagram basis to install controls on the third berth. In fact, it would cost more than three times as much per megagram to control emissions on the third berth as it would on the other two. An Alyeska analysis showed that the average cost to remove a megagram of pollutant between compliance and the year 2015 is $239,225 at the two controlled berths and $766,060 at the third berth. Given its limited use, itwould not be cost-effective to install controls at the third berth, RDC noted. RDC urged the EPA to apply cost/benefit consider- ations to ensure expensive controls are not installed on berths with limited re- maining operational life and use. Alyeska has chosen a vapor con- trol technology that will remove 99 per- cent of volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants. Loadingemis- sions overall would be reduced by about 90% between compliance date and 2015 since more than 90% of through- put would be loaded at controlled berths. Mining Law reform ... (Continued from page 5) "Chairman's Mark" that is closer to Rahall than Craig. "Johnston's mark right now is not workable, it leaves too much discretion to the Secretary of Interior," said Borell. "The chairman's mark, like H.R. 322. appears to be written specifically to eliminate exploration and mining on the public lands." A filibuster by mining supporters would be difficult to pull off this fall. There are roughly 25 senators who have indicated their support, but 41 are needed to sustain a filibuster. If the filibuster fails, say good-bye to most mining in America. "It is becoming more and more clear that there is a major war against the West. not just mining, but timber har- vesting and other multiple uses on pub- lic lands," said Borell. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada said that "members of Congress must un- derstand that if they succeed in passir legislation that taxes and regulates U.S. mining operations to death, they will get nothing. Companies will close up shop and go elsewhere." Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1994 We all remember the tale of the boy who cried wolf; he kept conjuring up calamities that never materialized. In Alaska, we have a federal agency that is crying wolf ... and goshawk, too. Without public input, and outside of procedures established by law, the U.S. Forest Service is endeavoring to save two species that are neither endan- gered nor even threatened in Alaska; the Alexander Archipelago wolf and the Queen Charlotte goshawk. Although the Forest Service has no evidence that these animals are declin- ing in number, it is waging an all-out war on the timber economy of Southeast Alaska. The agency is pursuing its goal by delaying timber sales, creating no - harvest zones out of thin air, and reduc- ing the amount of new timberthat would go to Southeast Alaska mills by more +' 150 percent. A Lower 48 extreme environmental group has filed a petition to list the wolf and the goshawk under the Endan- gered Species Act without scientific evidence of declining populations. That's the slender reed the Forest Service's current acts are based upon. but its true goal is to end all logging on the Tongass National Forest. Let's look at the facts: This year, the Forest Service canceled the Alaska Pulp Corporation's long-term timber contract, putting more than 450 Alas- kans out of work. The agency offered no assistance whatsoever to the people of Sitka who wanted to replace the APC mill with an environmentally -friendly, medium -density fiberboard plant. The agency did not follow-up on its promiseto negotiate newten-yeartimber contract, and it has put up only 142 million board feet (MMBF) of new timber offerings this fiscal year. The average harvest over the past five years in the Tongass is ap- p—ximately 400 MMBF. In the Forest Service's mission to "save" species that aren't even threat- ened, it has marched into the Tongass and begun drawing 3 to 10-mile no - harvest circles around every tree with a It's all-out war against timber industry goshawk nest. Each of those circles is 30 to 300 square miles. Nobody knows how much land the agency will require for "habitat conservation areas" to pro- tect the non -threatened wolf. The Forest Service is taking all these actions in the small portion of the Tongass specifically left for timber production by Congress. The Tongass National For- est — our nation's largest— consists of 17 million acres. Only 1.5 million acres are available for timber harvest, and if the Forest Service gets it way, that num- ber will be dramatically reduced. The Forest has imposed its no - harvest mandates by edict, ignoring the Tongass Timber Reform Act, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the National Forest Management Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. The Tongass Timber Reform Act mandates the Forest Service to provide timber to meet the demand of the mills in the Tongass. This year, ignoring the law, the agency will offer less than half of the timber necessary to meet that demand. The Forest Service's actions also violate a specific section of ANILCA designed to stop the federal govern- ment from unilaterally withdrawing land in Alaska. The "no more" clause of that law makes clear that no agency can make land withdrawals in Alaska that exceed a total of 5,000 acres without public notice and congressional ap- proval. The goshawk circles and the wolf areas clearly violate this law. The Forest Management Act requires pub- lic participation in forest planning be- fore management procedures are imple- mented like those related to goshawks and wolves. but the public has not been consulted in this case. The National Environmental Policy Act, of which I was an original cospon- sor, states that if there is a significant official act by an agency, its environ- mental consequences must first be ex- amined. No NEPA review has been conducted on the goshawk circles and the wolf habitat. I had prepared legislation to make the Forest Service abide by these laws, but it is my judgment that since Forest Service chooses to ignore laws already on the books, it simply would not com- ply with a new law telling it to obey existing law. The Forest Service is not alone. In a cynical effort to block my legislation, extreme environmental groups bom- barded senators with false information. They said my amendment would block the PACFISH strategy, thatitwasaimed at allowing timber activities to threaten Southeast Alaska salmon. They knew that was not the case. The Forest Service has already prom- ised me that the PACFISH policy of 300- foot bufferzones to protect salmon streams would only be implemented through the Tongass Land Management Plan. Further- more, I'll join anyone to protect Alaska salmon. Over the years I have worked hard to obtain the funds necessary to enhance and protectsalmon streams throughout our state. Sadly, the promises made under the Tongass Timber Reform Act have not been kept by this administration. The time has come for the Forest Service to stop crying wolf and to tell the truth. The no -harvest zones are not to protect the non -threatened and the non - endangered wolf or goshawk, instead they are just thinly disguised efforts to end logging and a way of life in South- east Alaska.

The Greater Kenai Chamber of Commerce was established in 1954 -- before the incorporation of the City. This year, the Chamber is celebrating its 40th anniversary of service to our community. Now, with a population of the City of Kenai nearing 7,000, the Kenai Chamber has attracted 415 area businesses as members to their organization. The Chamber is located at the corner of Overland Avenue and Main Street Loop and is housed in the cabin of Moose Meat John, who was a local trapper and homesteader. The cabin, remaining essentially in its original condition, is a historic reminder of days gone by. Examples of why we believe the Greater Kenai Chamber of Commerce deserves this special award are highlighted below: • In 1994 the Chamber established the Annual Goose classic. The Classic is a contest to determine the day, hour, minute and second when the first snow goose makes its yearly return to the Kenai River flats. Half of the income received through ticket sales is used for prize money. The remaining money is used to fund local scholarships to graduating high school seniors, community events, and to promote existing and new businesses in and to the area. Alaska State Chamber of Commerce August 19, 1994 Page 3 • In 1994, the Kenai Chamber of Commerce organized and co- sponsored the first Alaska chapter of the Green -Star Program. The program, founded in Anchorage, was established to promote waste reduction and energy efficiency in businesses. The program is now being considered by Chambers in Hawaii and Wisconsin. • Since 1987, the Kenai Chamber has been conducting the Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling (ALPAR) program for the Kenai area. ALPAR provides work for youth of the community while cleaning litter from the community's streets and highways. The Kenai Chamber received the Outstanding Youth Litter Award in 1990 and 1992. Funding for the program is received through the state ALPAR office and other private donations from the Kenai Chamber membership. • Until 1991, when the Kenai Visitors & Convention Bureau was established, the Kenai Chamber's responsibilities included sending visitor information to thousands of prospective visitors to Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula. The Chamber continues to conduct a Relocation Program for those businesses and families moving to our community. • The Kenai Chamber Board representative was instrumental in the preparation of the City's application and receiving the National Civic League's All -America City Award in 1992. • Another fundraiser is Chamber's October Wine Tasting/Auction event. Income from this event helps to sponsor the Chamber's major Christmas event. • The Kenai Chamber has conducted successful Annual Community Clean -Ups for twenty years. Through the Chamber's work and efforts, our community comes to life each spring looking fresh and clean. • For eight years, the Chamber has sponsored the Annual Kenai Open Golf Tournament. Income from the Tournament aids in promotion of the Chamber, its scholarship program, and other community events. • Through wind, sand and rain, the Annual Fourth of July Parade is a major event for the Chamber and an attraction for miles around! The parade's popularity is noted by the attendance of approximately 4,000 onlookers from Kenai and surrounding communities. This year, as in many, over 90 floats participated in the festivities. Alaska State Chamber of Commerce August 19, 1994 Page 3 • For twenty years, the Kenai Chamber has entertained ours and surrounding communities with its "Christmas Comes to Kenai" celebration. The day after Thanksgiving begins with Santa arriving via helicopter. Children are then given the opportunity to discuss their Christmas wishes with Santa and the Chamber provides the children with free movie tickets at one of the local theaters. Hot chocolate and cookies are available for everyone! The day is completed with a carol - sing around a bonfire and is immediately followed by an exciting fireworks display! The involvement of the Greater Kenai Chamber of Commerce has been essential to Kenai's evolution into the active, full -service community it is today. We commend the Chamber's participation and energy, and thank you for allowing us to tell you how proud we are of the Greater Kenai Chamber of Commerce and its accomplishments.

Tonal Director PB/mc Alaska Journal of Coinnierce • August 29, 1994 • .gage 3 AEDC officials plan development fund By 7Ym Bradner Alaska Journal of Commerce Anchorage business leaders are looking cautiously at the idea of a development fund, most likely in the $10 to $20 million range, to help at- tract major new business enterprises to the city. The notion is in its infancy, but has been approved in concept by the board ofAnchorage Economic Development Corp. and is now before Mayor Rick Mystrom. What spurred the idea is the oppor- tunity to land a small aircraft manu- facturing plant for Anchorage, a project for which the Matanuska- Susitna Borough is competing, said Scott Hawkins, president of the de- velopment corporation. Lancair Inc., an Oregon -based manufacturer of small airplane kits, is planning to take one of its products into full production and is consider- ing sites in Southcentral Alaska. The development corporation's board decided to pursue Lancair. Con- currently it is considering a develop- ment fund or mechanism, assembled for Lancair, which could be used for other projects, Hawkins said. "Our board took the position that, in the wake of the Arco layoffs, we need to become more aggressive in pursuing new ventures to diversify the economy. We will not rule out proposals or opportunities that re- quire assistance with financing," Hawkins said. Anchorage city officials have been cautious about projects requiring fi- nancial assistance, although the de- velopment corporation and the city did help encourage Federal Express to locate an international sort facility atAnchorage's airport, which involved modest tax breaks that have since been repaid, as well as training funds. The development fund would prob- ably operate separately from the de- velopment corporation, most likely with major involvement of the community's financial institutions. Fisherman pursues summer cod fishery in state waters KODIAK (AP) — A Kodiak fish- erman is trying to persuade federal fisheries managers to adopt a sum- mer Pacific cod fishery in state wa- ters. Cod is traditionally harvested in the winter for roe, which is prized in Japan. Bill Alwert says a summer pot fishery would catch fish marketable for their flesh. "In the winter time the cod is full of roe and milt, and they've got big slack hnllir,c anrd tho meat'a kind nfgnf} "hp Tom Casey, a consultant helping Alwert put together the proposal, said the fishery could be a boon for coastal communities. Pete Probasco, a state Department of Fish and Game manager, said there is certainly potential for a summer cod fishery, but he said such an allo- cation isn't up to the state. The fish- ery is co -managed by Fish and Game and the North Pacific Fishery Man- agement Council. The council would lhavn to vacs sn pmonrdmont that The fund would be flexible enough to allow Anchorage to compete for projects like Lancair, which require a debt -financing package that would not fit in existing economic develop- ment programs. Lancair is looking for $12 million in financing to handle its expansion. The company, privately -owned, would prefer not to dilute equity with ven- ture capital. It would consider locating its plant in Alaska, and incurring a small in- crease in manufacturing costs, ifAlas- kans could help assemble a debt -fi- nancing package that would allow the company to keep its equity intact. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough is also courting Lancair, hoping to help the company with its financing in return for locating the plant near Palmer. Borough officials are work- ing on a plan to use borough -owned land as collateral. They are also ask- ing state legislators to free a $9 mil- lion appropriation made several years ago for a unit coal train for the Wish- bone Hill coal mine. With that project shelved, local offi- cials are pushing for the money to be made available for other economic development projects in the region. Selling Your Company?

Tesoro has been buying about 28,000 barrels a day of oil from the state under a 10-year contract set to expire at the end of the year. Refinery manager Mark Necessary said Tesoro wants to increase it share of state royalty oil to "secure a long- term supply of feedstock" for the re- finery. Kevin Banks, a petroleum economist for DNR's oil and gas division, said Tesoro's refinery has been operating "somewhat at a diminished capacity" since Conoco sold its North Slope Milne Point interest to BP Exploration (Alaska) last year. Tesoro had been buying about 3,500 barrels a day of crude from Conoco. In addition to a one-year contract, DNR and Tesoro confirmed that ne- gotiations are underway for a long- term contract involving about 40,000 barrels a day. The state receives a royalty of 12.5 percent from oil and gas produced from the Prudhoe Bay Unit, which it can take -in-kind" or "in -value." Tesoro currently produces about 30,000 barrels a day of product from 50,000 barrels barrels a day of feed- stock, which includes about 10,000 barrels a day of crude from the Cook Inlet. State oil is taken from the Trans - Alaska Pipeline at Valdez and tankered to the Kenai refinery. Meanwhile, Necessary said the refinery's new $24-million vacuum unit is expected to come on line some- time this fall, serving to reduce re- sidual oil content from 35 percent to under 18 percent. Banks said a reduction in low value residual oil will allow Tesoro to make higher value products and perhaps more volume of gasoline and fuel oils. "This figures into the company's plan to move more gasoline into the state," he said. "It also means they will be shipping a great deal less residual oil out of the Cook Inlet to the Lower 48. They are predicting something like 17 fewer tanker trips a year." 3RD PARTY: • Surv._)nng • Facilities Management • Presentation Software OTHER SERVICES: • Training • Support • Project Assistance • Scanning & Vectorizing Authorized Dealer • Mapping 5750 Glacier Hwy., A7 • Juneau, Alaska 99801 Phone $ Fax: (907) 780-6211 • AutoCAD • GIS • ArcCAD • PC Arclinfio (For Windows) KuPARUK INDUSTRIAL CENTER A Full Service Base Central to Kuparuk Field Operations 15 Miles West Of Kuparuk River • One Mile From ARCO CPF-1 Competitive Rates Call: (907) 659-2900 _ PO.

Harry Deuber, who owns Merrill Field Aircraft Sales in Anchorage, was one of several aircraft dealers who were ecstatic Aug.18 after learn- ing that Clinton had signed a new liability measure into law. Cessna Aircraft Corp., based in Wichita, Kan., said it will begin searching immediately for a site to ouild a plant thatwouid manufacture Cessna 172, 182 and 206 model air- --raft. Those high -wine, single -engine aircraft are popular among Alaska pilots. The company stopped making the -:lanes in 1986 because of the nigh _ost of liability insurance and defend- .z itself against defective-desie;_ :aw- alts. The new law limits the liabiii: of manufacturers to 18 years after the plane was built. The old law had no time limits and lawsuits were being filed against the company involving crashes of 40-year-old planes. said Cessna spokesman David Franson. "I see this as a big benefit in Alaska," Deuber said. "People have been wait- ing and waiting for this." Cessnas have been the aircraft of choice for decades in Alaska. which has the highest per capita ownership of small planes in the country. Without new planes available on the market, older planes were getting almost constant repairs in order to keep them in the air, dealers said. Deuber said he was getting con- cerned about safety as the old Cessnas started wearing out. "This is so important because Cessna without doubt has been the leader in small aircraft," said Tony Cesnik, president Aero Twin Inc. "The newest Cessna is now 9 years old. We're flying a bunch of old aircraft that are wearing out." Cessna has built more than 177,000 single -engine aircraft since the com- pany was formed in 1927. More than 130,000 of those planes are still fly- ing, the company said. Cessna reportedly stopped making the planes when the cost of defending itself against product -liability law- suits exceeded its research and devel- opment budget. "We used to spent $20 (million) to $25 million on research a year," he said. "Instead, we found ourselves spending that amount on product - liability defense." To meet the cost of the legal de- fenses, Franson said, the company had to increase the price of the planes so much that they were too pricey for most people to buv. "We got out of the business soiely because of product liability," he said. Legislation iimiting manufacturer liability for the planes was introduced by members of the Kansas congres- sional delegation. Alaska Sens. Ted Stevens and Frank Murkowski ac- tively supported the bill. "I've heard from aviators through- out Alaska. and nearly every organi- zation familiar with general aviation ... and they all agree the industry's collapse was primarily the result of U.S. liability law," Stevens said last March when the measure passed the Senate. Murkowski said Aug. 19 that Clinton's signature on the bill is "a great victory for Alaska pilots be- cause it opens the way for them to be able to buy quality American aircraft Continued . ..

The ADEC request letter and project questionnaire was Info. 11 for the 8/17/94 council meeting. 1. Water System Quality Improvements 2. Water Distribution Improvements 3. Water and Sewer Comprehensive Plan Update 4. Wastewater Treatment plant Expansion The first two projects were listed on the City's 1994-95 Request for State Grants brochure. With our growing water and sewer customers we need to carefully look at our system capacities and our strong and weak points. I think an update of our water and sewer comprehensive plan is needed. Expansion of our Wastewater Treatment Plant is inevitable. Because of the high costs and a somewhat complicated project we need to start planning and requesting funds now. If council does not object, I will be submitting these applications. As the Mayor pointed out at the last council meeting, we will be lucky to get enough points to place any of our projects on the funded lists next year. If I keep trying though, like we did for Thompson Park, maybe someday ADEC grant funding may become a reality. KK/kw
